Hi, I try to run logstash in windows with the command:
.\bin\logstash.bat -f D:\Elastic\logstash-8.6.0\config\conf.d\bo\_firmas\_electronicas.conf
But I have this message:
```auto

It's something related with a time zone. According to your .conf you are not using the date plugin.
Can you add one more param in input:
`jdbc_default_timezone => "Europe/Berlin"`
Another format is:
`jdbc_default_timezone => "America/Denver[dst_enabled_on_overlap:true]"`
Change with your timezone to your from [here](https://joda-time.sourceforge.net/timezones.html)
If that wouldn't work, try to start with path param
`.\bin\logstash.bat -f D:\Elastic\logstash-8.6.0\config\conf.d\bo_firmas_electronicas.conf --path.settings D:\Elastic\logstash-8.6.0\config`
