I had the same problem. One of these actions worked for me: - use windows like path in config file F:\elastic\data\table.csv instead of linux like path F:/elastic/data/table.csv - don't copy paste logstash commands from the web, because there are different kind of minus sign and dash character. try to type commands manually. ---
