Hi, I have configured my logstash with simple pipeline configuration (followed Logstash documentation)  
when I am trying to run the command I am getting the below error.

I am giving the following command at command line

under bin: logstash -f "Path of pipeline configuration file"

K:\ELK Stack\logstash-5.4.1\bin\>logstash -f C:\Users\deepa\Desktop\logstash\_cars.conf

Thanks for responding.

This was resolved. I am using folder name with space in logstash installation directory and got to know that logstash cant resolve path with spaces. I removed space and it is working fine.

Thanks
