input { stdin { } }

output {

Elasticsearch { hosts => ["localhost:9200"] }
stdout { codec => rubydebug }

}

I have saved this in a logstash conf file.. and running a command from Powershell bin/logstash -f logstash.conf

I am running the command from the command line : i have given the full path of the file , even then it keeps saying config file not found ..

The file at that path, if it exists, is not readable by the Logstash process. What are its permissions? How is Logstash being run?

It is a Windows Machine and it is in the C drive and all permissions are there..
I am running Logstash from the Powershell window

7

i have given the file path in the logstash.yml file .. in the path config location...
