Logstash is failing with syntax error

Expected one of [ \t\r\n], "#", "=>" at line 3, column 9 (byte 27) after input {\n input {\n beats "

That would suggest that your configuration file is not

input {
  beats {
    port => 5044

but is actually

input {
  input {
    beats {

In which case remove one of the “input {“ lines.
