Hi, I have successfully configured elastic and kibana using SSL/TLS but when it comes to logstash it is throwing me below errr`hosts => ["https://*.*.*.*:9200", "https://*.*.*.*:9200"] index => "logstash-bindlive_logs" ssl.certificate_authorities: ["/etc/ca.crt"] ssl.certificate: "/etc/client.crt" ssl.key: "/etc/client.key" user => elastic password => logs@123` Failed to execute action {:action=\>LogStash::PipelineAction::Create/pipeline\_id:main, :exception=\>"LogStash::ConfigurationError", :message=\>"Expected one of #, {, } at line 36, column 25 (byte 701) after output {\n if "\_grokparsefailure" in [tags] {\n file { path =\> "/home/faillogs.txt" } }\n else {\n elasticsearch {\n hosts =\> ["https://:9200", "[https://9200](https://9200)"]\n index =\> "logstash-bindlive\_logs"\n user =\> elastic\n password =\> dns\_logs", :backtrace=\>["/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/compiler.rb:41:in `compile_imperative'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/compiler.rb:49:in`compile\_graph'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/compiler.rb:11:in `block in compile_sources'", "org/jruby/RubyArray.java:2577:in`map'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/compiler.rb:10:in `compile_sources'", "org/logstash/execution/AbstractPipelineExt.java:151:in`initialize'", "org/logstash/execution/JavaBasePipelineExt.java:47:in `initialize'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/java_pipeline.rb:23:in`initialize'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/pipeline\_action/create.rb:36:in `execute'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/agent.rb:325:in`block in converge\_state'"]} `` ---

Hard to tell, you must have some configuration error: > if "\_grokparsefailure" in [tags]{ > file { > path =\> "/home/faillogs.txt" > } > } > else { > elasticsearch { > hosts =\> ["https://:9200", "[https://9200](https://9200)"] > index =\> "logstash-bindlive\_logs" > user =\> elastic > password =\> dns\_logs", Can you sanitize and paste your output config maybe? ---

> [@pastechecker](#): > > password =\> dns\_logs", Did you terminated the password properly: `password => dns_logs",` ? You have double quote at the end of your password and this is where the compilation error starts. ---

My fault, that was the json error message quoted part. Did you verified that you have closed the "{" , "}" and double quotations everywhere? ---

> [@vinu89](#): > > ssl.certificate\_authorities: ["/etc/ca.crt"] > ssl.certificate: "/etc/client.crt" > ssl.key: "/etc/client.key" The options here: ssl.certificate\_authorities: ["/etc/ca.crt"] ssl.certificate: "/etc/client.crt" ssl.key: "/etc/client.key" are valid for filebeats. Try to pass to logstash as: ``` ssl => true ssl_certificate_authorities => ["/etc/ca.crt"] ssl_certificate => "/etc/server.crt" ssl_key => "/etc/server.key" ``` ---

If possible, could you please provide your full configuration so we can start recreating the issue? ---
