Does anyone know how to fix this error?  
Error validating bucket write permissions! {:message=\>":bucket option must not contain a forward-slash (/)", :class=\>"ArgumentError"}  
LogStash::ConfigurationError: Logstash must have the privileges to write to root bucket `aws.mycompany/sit/myapp/app/SERVERNAME/tomcat/catalina.log`

I tried adding this to my configuration file with no luck:  
validate\_credentials\_on\_root\_bucket =\> false  
access\_key\_id =\> ""  
secret\_access\_key =\> ""
