Yup

Line 4 has a space right..
`start position => "beginning"`
Should be
`start_position => "beginning"`
also see quotes on the next line where not needed on the left side
The conf file needs to be correct to execute... Just be careful I think you can take it from here.

Remove the } before the mutate filters. That closes the filter section and the mutates need to be inside that. Also, add a } at the end of the file.

Hmmm see if you can figure out from the error and this...
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-filters-csv.html#plugins-filters-csv-separator](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-filters-csv.html#plugins-filters-csv-separator)

In the error message
`[2019-08-04T15:56:56,823][ERROR][logstash.filters.csv] Unknown setting 'seperator' for csv`
Typo ...`seperator` vs `separator`
I also notice
`path => " /Users/aadi2391/Desktop/Documents/CIS5900/Project/crime 2.csv`
is there really supposed to be a space at the beginning before ` /User` and in the file name `crime 2.csv`?
Perhaps pay close attention to the typos you have had many...
Good luck on the debugging ... You will figure it out!

Apologies when I say typos... they are among other items...
- Incorrect Spelling
- Incorrect capitalization or case (Upper or Lower)
- Missing or added spaces or `_` etc
- Missing or additional `{`
- Any other in correct entry.
The conf must be typed in exactly.

It seems you have used `Hosts` instead of `hosts` in your Elasticsearch output. Spelling and case matters.

Logstash could not be started because there is already another instance using the configured data directory. If you wish to run multiple instances, you must change the "path.data" setting.
how can u configure multiple instance?

Add --path.data to the command line used to start each instance and point the two instances at two different directories.
Alternatively, copy the contents of /etc/logstash to another directory, edit path.data in logstash.yml and then use --path.settings on the command line to point one instance at it.
