Hello experts,
Getting below error on logstash (LS) logs for all of the nodes.

Elasticsearch version: 6.5.4
Logstash version: 6.5.4

LS service has been up and running on all LS nodes. Attached is the logstash.yml, input.conf, output.conf and ruby filter files. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Can't attach the files.
input.conf looks like below:-
input {
beats {
port => "5044"
client_inactivity_timeout => "600"
}
}

Output.conf

one of your config files is having syntax issues. looks like you put a whole bunch of .conf files in a same directory making logstash sees the error at line 4016

Hello Ptamba,
Yes indeed there are lot of .conf files under /etc/logstash/conf.d. Could you please recommend IF these .conf files need to be moved to a different directory?

Hello experts,
Any inputs or suggested workaround on this issue?

you could try running logstash from CLI with config test and increase the log level to debug or trace

logstash -f <path_to_config_di> --config.test_and_exit --log.level trace
