</div>

I'm testing out the Logstash 6.0.0 on Windows server 2012. Here's the pipelines.yml (under directory C:\logstash600\config):

```auto
- pipeline.id: winevents
  path.config: "C:/logstash600/pipelines/winevents.cfg"

```

Here's the file winevents.cfg (under directory C:\logstash600\pipelines):

```auto
input {
  beats {
    port => 5052
  }
}
filter{
   if ([type] == "wineventlog") {
      mutate {
         ...
      }
   }
}
output {
   if ([type] == "wineventlog") {
      if ([log_name] == "Application") {
         elasticsearch {
            ...
         }
      }
      else if ([log_name] == "System") {
         elasticsearch {
            ...
         }  
      }
      else if ([log_name] == "Security") {
         elasticsearch {
            ...
         }       
      }
   }
   stdout { codec => rubydebug }
}

```

There's nothing wrong with the winevents.cfg since I can run it directly. But when I run Logstash in C:\logstash600\bin without any parameter, I got the following error:

Sending Logstash's logs to C:/logstash600/logs which is now configured via log4j2.properties  
[ERROR] 2017-08-29 15:48:01.411 [Ruby-0-Thread-1: C:/logstash600/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.3.0/gems/stud-0.0.23/lib/stud/task.rb:22] sourceloader - No configuration found in the configured sources.

Can someone please help guide me on this error? I thought by default it's looking for the file C:\logstash600\config\pipelines.yml which is there. Not sure what the error means.

Thanks!

It seems that you have set things up correctly.

If you turn on debug logging what additional info do you see?

I don't have a windows machine to test this on. Needless to say, we have tested this extensively (on OSX and Linux) and the feature has been in master for some time.

Can you test on a Linux box perhaps? To confirm whether it is a Windows problem or not.

I haven't tried it on Linux yet but will do soon. Meantime if you can help debug this.

Thanks so much!

You should try the `-t` flag along with the debug log level. This is the config `test and exit`

In the DEBUG level logging output, if the config file was read correctly, you will see lots of references to the inputs and outputs being setup. in the example below, the lines containing `] config` is the config being read, parsed and checked.

As none of this appears, I would say that you have a permissions problem.

Example:

```auto
$ bin/logstash -t

Hi guyboertje,  
I ran the cmd: **logstash -t --path.settings=/C:/logstash600/config/**  
and here's the log - it looks like the config is OK. But then it went back to the cmd prompt. Isn't is supposed to be running and waiting for input?

==========================================  
Notice the error above - not sure what this means:
