Issue to run logstash

Elastic Stack Logstash
1

Hello everyone,

I am using Redhat and logstash8.2.0. I want to start my logstash instance, so I execute the following command:

bin/logstash -f /bin/logstash-8.2.0/config/logstash.yml

Here's the error I get:

[2024-02-20T17:22:54,020][ERROR][logstash.agent] Failed to execute action {:action=>LogStash::PipelineAction::Create/pipeline_id:main, :exception=>"LogStash::ConfigurationError", :message=>"Expected one of [ \t\r\n], "#", "input", "filter", "output" at line 19, column 1 (byte 322) after ", :backtrace=>["/bin/logstash-8.2.0/logstash-core/lib/logstash/compiler.rb:32:in compile_imperative'", "org/logstash/execution/AbstractPipelineExt.java:189:in initialize'", "org/logstash/execution/JavaBasePipelineExt.java:72:in initialize'", "/bin/logstash-8.2.0/logstash-core/lib/logstash/java_pipeline.rb:47:in initialize'", "/bin/logstash-8.2.0/logstash-core/lib/logstash/pipeline_action/create.rb:50:in execute'", "/bin/logstash-8.2.0/logstash-core/lib/logstash/agent.rb:381:in block in converge_state'"]}

This is strange because my logstash.yml file only contains comments, except on line 19 which is:

node.name: test

Do you have any idea where the error is coming from?

Thanks in advance for your help !

Regards

path.config (the -f option) should point to a .conf file that defines inputs, filters, and outputs. It should not point to logstash.yml, which logstash will look for in path.settings.
