OpenSearch/OpenDistro are AWS run products and differ from the original Elasticsearch and Kibana products that Elastic builds and maintains. You may need to contact them directly for further assistance. (This is an automated response from your friendly Elastic bot. Please report this post if you have any suggestions or concerns :elasticheart: ) ---

Please, format your message using the Preformatted text button in the editor, the `` button. But from what I was able to understand, you have a typo in your input, the value for `start_position` it is `beginning`, not `begining`, the error log made it clear: ```auto # This setting must be a ["beginning", "end"] # Expected one of ["beginning", "end"], got ["begining"] ``` Also, You won't be able to use Logstash 8.1.2 with OpenSearch if you use the `elasticsearch` output, you need to install the third-party plugin `logstash-output-opensearch`, but I'm not sure it supports Logstash 8, you will need to check with the Opensearch community. ---
