Logstash 6.4.0 problem

[magunes (Murat Gunes)]

Hello,

I have just installed logstash 6.4.0 and getting error below. I am using exactly the same config file (which I have used with 6.1.3 so far)
Is this a bug or something changed with the new version?

[2018-10-10T16:23:03,232][ERROR][logstash.pipeline ] A plugin had an unrecoverable error. Will restart this plugin.
Pipeline_id:main

I will appreciate your help.

Thank you

There is no /dev/null on Windows (which I assume you run Logstash on). If you need to avoid keeping a since_db file, try this instead in your configuration.

input {
    file {
        path => ["C:\Data\MN\3GKPI.csv"]
        start_position => "beginning"
        sincedb_path => "nul"
    }
}

Give path as shown below

path => "C:/Data/MN/3GKPI.csv"

Dear Gents. Thank you.
Both "nul" and replacing / with \ in the path name required to run the ls.
Actually, I am puzzled as in version 6.1.3 on windows , it was running w/o problem.
I suppose in the new version things changed.

Regards,

Murat
