I am using Macbook and I am trying to take input from Amazon S3. I have a bucket in my S3 and it has a textfile.

I am using the following config:

input  
{

s3 {  
access\_key\_id =\> "Access\_Key"  
bucket =\> "timselktest1"  
region =\> "us-west-2"  
secret\_access\_key =\> "Secret\_Access\_Key"  
prefix =\> "/"  
type =\> "s3"  
sincedb\_path =\> "/dev/null"

```
}

```

}

filter  
{

csv  
{  
separator =\> ","

```
columns => ["ID KEY","Client ID","Account ID","Record Source","Created On Date","Modified On Date","Form Type","Tax Status", "Error Field","Error Field Value","Error Message"]
  
autogenerate_column_names => false

convert => {"ID KEY" => "integer"}

```

}

date  
{  
timezone =\> "UTC"  
match =\> ["Created On Date", "dd-MMM-YY HH.mm.ss.SSSSSS a"]

}

date  
{  
timezone =\> "UTC"  
match =\> ["Created On Date", "dd-MMM-YY HH.mm.ss.SSSSSS a"]  
target =\> "Created On Date"

}

date  
{  
timezone =\> "UTC"  
match =\> ["Modified On Date", "dd-MMM-YY HH.mm.ss.SSSSSS a"]  
target =\> "Modified On Date"  
}

}

output  
{

elasticsearch  
{  
action =\> "index"  
hosts =\> "localhost"  
index =\> "w8ss3"  
workers =\> 1  
}

stdout  
{  
codec =\> rubydebug  
}

}

when i run logstash, i get the following:

Pipeline main has started:

after that, nothing gets printed out on the screen. If I check in elastic search also, no index is made.

Kindly help me.
