Input log file is not discovered in Kibana in window 11

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

I have configured and started elastic-search, kibana and logstash. Everything is working without error but I am not able to see my log file in kibana. below is logstash configuration. Can someone please suggest me what I am missing here?

This env is not allowing me to add uri link so I have removed host entry but it is duly configured with localhost and port 9200

input {
file {
path => "C:\input_file.txt" # Replace with the actual path to your log file
start_position => "beginning" # Read from the beginning of the file if needed
sincedb_path => "null" # Optional: Specify a sincedb path
}
}

output {
elasticsearch {
hosts => <local_host:port 9200>
ssl_certificate_authorities => "C:\Users\jyadav\OneDrive - Infinera\Desktop\ELK\elasticsearch-9.0.1\config\certs\http_ca.crt" # Path to the Elasticsearch CA certificate
ssl_verification_mode => full # Optional: Enable hostname verification
user => "elastic"
password => "1us=+kN0b-ZeOlINCa9K"
ssl_enabled => true
index => "my-data-stream"
codec => line
}

stdout {
codec => rubydebug
}
}

You should use the forward slash and PLEASE do not put files in the root of drive.
It's sincedb_path => "NUL" on Windows.
Not sure do you need codec => line in the output elasticsearch

input {
  file {
   path => "C:/input_file.txt" # Replace with the actual path to your log file
   start_position => "beginning" # Read from the beginning of the file if needed
   sincedb_path => "NUL" # Optional: Specify a sincedb path
  }
}
