Logstash-7.17.12 file input not working

Elastic Stack Logstash
1

I am using logstash-7.17.12 to input the contents of logstash-test.conf file. The contents of logstash-test.conf are as follows.

input {
  file {
    path => "C:/Users/user/logstash-7.17.12/config/filter-example.log"
    start_position => "beginning"
    sincedb_path => "nul"
  }
}

output {
  stdout { }
}

And the filter-example.log file shown above is as follows.

[2020-01-02 14:17] [ID1] 192.10.2.6 9500 [INFO] - connected.
[2020/01/02 14:19:25] [ID2] 218.25.32.70 1070 [warn] - busy server.

However, an error occurs and the contents of the command are as follows.

I think it's a problem with file input of logstash because it works normally with the -e option. How can I solve this problem?

It has nothing to do with the file input. logstash hasn't got as far as knowing it should use a file input. It cannot read the configuration file saying that. The relative path may be wrong, or the file (or directory) permissions/ownership may be wrong.

Ah.. I intentionally edited it as 'user' to hide the name 'ypwa1' when I posted it here, but there are places I missed.. T_T
I don't know if it's a path problem..
