Hi !  
I'm following the doc to set up the first-pipeline-conf,but after I ran `bin/logstash -f first-pipeline.conf --configtest` ,this error shows:  
`An unexpected error occurred! {:error=>#<RuntimeError: translation missing: en.logstash.runner.configuration.file-not-found>, :class=>"RuntimeError", :backtrace=>["/opt/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/logstash-core-2.3.2-java/lib/logstash/config/loader.rb:58:in`local\_config'", "/opt/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/logstash-core-2.3.2-java/lib/logstash/config/loader.rb:37:in `load_config'", "/opt/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/logstash-core-2.3.2-java/lib/logstash/config/loader.rb:17:in`format\_config'", "/opt/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/logstash-core-2.3.2-java/lib/logstash/agent.rb:181:in `execute'", "/opt/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/logstash-core-2.3.2-java/lib/logstash/runner.rb:94:in`run'", "org/jruby/RubyProc.java:281:in `call'", "/opt/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/logstash-core-2.3.2-java/lib/logstash/runner.rb:99:in`run'", "org/jruby/RubyProc.java:281:in `call'", "/opt/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/stud-0.0.22/lib/stud/task.rb:24:in`initialize'"], :level=\>:warn} `

pipeline started when I just ran `bin/logstash -e 'input { stdin { } } output { stdout {} }'`

anyone has any ideas?Thanks a lot!

Have you created first-pipeline.conf? If so, what is the location? and what is the content of this file?
