Dears ,

there is an issue with the logstash i have , I try to run it with the .conf file i created but it hang after pipeline ,

this is one of the .conf i try to run :

```
`input {
    stdin {}
        file {
                path =>"/run/media/dhyeem/Logstash/cdr/*"
                type => "cucm-cdr"
                start_position => "beginning"
        add_field => { "StandAloneCluster" => "KAAUH_Cluster" }
        }
        file {
                path =>"/run/media/dhyeem/Logstash/cmr*"
                type => "cucm-cmr"
                start_position => "beginning"
        add_field => { "StandAloneCluster" => "KAAUH_Cluster" }
        }

```

also i tried with the simple one , it's giving the same issue :

```
input { stdin { } }
output {
  elasticsearch { hosts => ["localhost:9200"] }
  stdout { codec => rubydebug }
}

```

`  
i only see this result :

```
[root@localhost conf.d]# /opt/logstash/bin/logstash -f ./cucm.conf -v

That means it has started and it is waiting for data, it hasn't hung.

When i check from the command line while this is hanging , it's saying  
`[root@localhost logstash]# service logstash status`  
`logstash is not running`

when i go with the Document in Elasticsearch i see this error :

```
[root@localhost logstash]# bin/logstash -e /etc/logstash/conf.d/cucm.conf 
fetched an invalid config {:config=>"/etc/logstash/conf.d/cucm.confinput { stdin { type => stdin } }output { stdout { codec => rubydebug } }", :reason=>"Expected one of #, input, filter, output at line 1, column 1 (byte 1) after ", :level=>:error}

```

after that

```
[root@localhost logstash]# bin/logstash -f /etc/logstash/conf.d/cucm.conf -v

check your logstash config. The pipe line keeps stopping due to config errors. use the logstash --configtest to check your configuration for logstash.

When you run the command manually, the service check won't apply. It's a whole different way of managing the process.

Dear , thanks for all the support , i figure it out in one of your replays 😊 , the input plugin was sayig host =\> localhost , it should be hosts =\> localhost like below :

```
output {
    elasticsearch {
        index => "%{type}-%{+dd.MM.YYYY}"

hosts => localhost 
        }    

```
