Hi, I am new to logstash and using logstash to add my logs with Elasticsearch. But I can't get through this error. Please help. It is urgent. ```auto Using bundled JDK: /Users/akjain3cisco.com/Documents/ELK/logstash-7.15.2/jdk.app/Contents/Home OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM warning: Option UseConcMarkSweepGC was deprecated in version 9.0 and will likely be removed in a future release.

Hello, There is no SLA in this forum, so marking your question as urgent won't make any difference. Your log error is pretty clear: ```auto # This setting must be a number # Expected number, got "seconds" (type seconds) timeout => "seconds" ... } ``` The `timeout` setting in the elapsed filter needs to be a number representing the amount of seconds, the default value is 1800, this is explained in the [documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/7.15/plugins-filters-elapsed.html#plugins-filters-elapsed-timeout). Also, see if you can move your question to the correct forum, it is a Logstash issue but you tagged as a Kibana issue. ---
