Hi,
I am facing a peculiar issue. I have seen the error faced by many before me, but the solution (only a few of them said resolved by fresh creation by typing the logstash.conf file) is not working for me.
Please help.
I am trying to run following command...
docker run --rm -it -v "$(pwd)"/pipeline/:/usr/share/logstash/pipeline/ [docker.elastic.co/logstash/logstash-oss:7.10.0](http://docker.elastic.co/logstash/logstash-oss:7.10.0)
This actually behave exactly similar way for litlle older version like 7.9.3 as well.
my logstash.conf file in a subdirectory /config of current directory (from where I fired this command) has following lines.....
input{
tcp {
port =\> 5044
codec =\> json
type =\> logstash
}
}
output{
elasticsearch {
hosts =\> "elasticsearch-elkpoc:80"
index =\> "%{type}-%{+YYYY.MM.DD}"
}
}
This resulted out with the following error....
LogStash::ConfigurationError", :message=\>"Expected one of [\t\r\n], "#", "input", "filter", "output" at line 1, column 1 (byte 1)"
The error remains same even if I reduce the logstash.conf to
input{} output{} filter{}
Entire error message below...

Please use the proper format of the conf:
```auto
input {
tcp {
port => 5044
codec => json
type => logstash
}
}
filter {
}
output {
elasticsearch {
hosts => "elasticsearch-elkpoc:80"
index => "%{type}-%{+YYYY.MM.DD}"
}
}
```
