Hi Folks,

I am having the following setup.  
OS: Window 10 Enterprise 64 bit  
Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana version: 7.2.0

My elastic search and kibana is working fine. when I am trying to configure logstash its throwing error. I have added all ELK in the environment variable as well.  
input  
{  
stdin{}  
}  
output  
{  
elasticsearch {  
hosts =\> ["localhost:9200"]  
index =\> "testing-index"  
}

```
} 

```

When i am trying to run i get following error.  
C:\Pramod\rnd\ElasticSearch\logstash-7.2.0\>logstash -f kafka.conf
