Logstash not flushing file to output directory

Hi,
I am trying logstash in windows filesystem where I am trying to put file from one directory to other directory.

My logstash.conf file is : -
input {
file {
path => "C:/logstash/in.log"
}
}
output {
file {
path => "C:/logstashnew/outlog.log"
}
}

I have created C:/logstash/in.log file.when I try to run logstash by issuing:
logstash/bin> logstash -f /logstash.conf
but file was not copied to "C:/logstashnew/outlog.log"

Log generated:

C:\logstash-6.4.1\logstash-6.4.1\bin>logstash -f logstash.conf
Sending Logstash logs to C:/logstash-6.4.1/logstash-6.4.1/logs which is now configured via log4j2.properties

Please guide

How do you know that Logstash is reading anything from the input file? As you've configured it Logstash will only read new lines appended to the file. Check out the start_position option of the file input and read what its documentation says about sincedb.
