Good morning everyone. I am running a custom config from a class on Udemy for ElasticSearch, LogStash and Kibana. For whatever reason I get errors and I cant get it to run. I have been trying over and over and over. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong. Here is my config file. ``` input { file { path => "/Users/defensivethinking/search/data/cars.csv" start_position => "beginning" sincedb_path => "/dev/null" } } filter { csv { seperator => "," columns => ["maker", "model", "mileage", "manufacture_year", "engine_displacement", "engine_power", "body_type", "color_slug", "stk_year", "transmission", "door_count", "seat_count", "fuel_type", "date_created", "date_last_seen", "price_eur"] } mutate {convert => ["mileage", "integer"] } mutate {convert => ["price_eur", "float"] } mutate {convert => ["engine_power", "integer"] } mutate {convert => ["door_count", "integer"] } mutate {convert => ["seat_count", "integer"] } } output { elasticsearch { hosts => "localhost:9200" index => "cars" document_type => "sold_cars" } stdout {} } ``` I get the same error with or without the port number on localhost Now when I go to run the config I get a error ``` Alexs-MacBook-Pro:logstash defensivethinking$ bin/logstash -f /Users/defensivethinking/search/data/logstash_cars.config Sending Logstash's logs to /Users/defensivethinking/search/logstash/logs which is now configured via log4j2.properties [2018-01-04T17:41:41,594][INFO][logstash.modules.scaffold] Initializing module {:module_name=>"netflow", :directory=>"/Users/defensivethinking/search/logstash/modules/netflow/configuration"} [2018-01-04T17:41:41,614][INFO][logstash.modules.scaffold] Initializing module {:module_name=>"fb_apache", :directory=>"/Users/defensivethinking/search/logstash/modules/fb_apache/configuration"} [2018-01-04T17:41:41,904][WARN][logstash.config.source.multilocal] Ignoring the 'pipelines.yml' file because modules or command line options are specified [2018-01-04T17:41:42,753][INFO][logstash.runner] Starting Logstash {"logstash.version"=>"6.1.1"} [2018-01-04T17:41:43,221][INFO][logstash.agent] Successfully started Logstash API endpoint {:port=>9600} [2018-01-04T17:41:46,468][ERROR][logstash.filters.csv] Unknown setting 'seperator' for csv [2018-01-04T17:41:46,493][ERROR][logstash.agent] Failed to execute action {:action=>LogStash::PipelineAction::Create/pipeline_id:main, :exception=>"LogStash::ConfigurationError", :message=>"Something is wrong with your configuration.", :backtrace=>["/Users/defensivethinking/search/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/config/mixin.rb:89:in `config_init'", "/Users/defensivethinking/search/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/filters/base.rb:128:in `initialize'", "/Users/defensivethinking/search/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/filter_delegator.rb:23:in `initialize'", "/Users/defensivethinking/search/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/plugins/plugin_factory.rb:88:in `plugin'", "/Users/defensivethinking/search/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/pipeline.rb:114:in `plugin'", "(eval):12:in `'", "org/jruby/RubyKernel.java:994:in `eval'", "/Users/defensivethinking/search/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/pipeline.rb:86:in `initialize'", "/Users/defensivethinking/search/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/pipeline.rb:171:in `initialize'", "/Users/defensivethinking/search/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/pipeline_action/create.rb:40:in `execute'", "/Users/defensivethinking/search/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/agent.rb:335:in `block in converge_state'", "/Users/defensivethinking/search/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/agent.rb:141:in `with_pipelines'", "/Users/defensivethinking/search/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/agent.rb:332:in `block in converge_state'", "org/jruby/RubyArray.java:1734:in `each'", "/Users/defensivethinking/search/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/agent.rb:319:in `converge_state'", "/Users/defensivethinking/search/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/agent.rb:166:in `block in converge_state_and_update'", "/Users/defensivethinking/search/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/agent.rb:141:in `with_pipelines'", "/Users/defensivethinking/search/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/agent.rb:164:in `converge_state_and_update'", "/Users/defensivethinking/search/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/agent.rb:90:in `execute'", "/Users/defensivethinking/search/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/runner.rb:343:in `block in execute'", "/Users/defensivethinking/search/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.3.0/gems/stud-0.0.23/lib/stud/task.rb:24:in `block in initialize'"]} ``` Any help would be great. ---
