I am trying to consume a message from an ActiveMQ with the following configuration; ``` input { jms { broker_url => 'failover:(ssl://b-d5bc797b-sjd8-41d2-dfjh7-127ba48c6238-1.mq.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com:61617)?initialReconnectDelay=100' destination => 'activemq-log4j2-configuration' factory => 'org.apache.activemq.ActiveMQConnectionFactory' pub_sub => false use_jms_timestamp => false # JMS provider credentials if needed username => 'user' password => 'pass' # Parts of the JMS message to be included include_header => false include_properties => false include_body => true factory_settings => { exclusive_consumer => true } # Jar Files to include require_jars => ['C:\Users\M1045583\Desktop\activemq-all-5.15.12.jar'] } } output { #stdout { codec => line { format => "%{message}"} } stdout { codec => "rubydebug" } } ``` The error i am facing is; ``` C:\Program Files\logstash-6.3.2-windows-x86_64\bin>logstash -f "C:\Users\M1045583\Desktop\activemq_consume.conf" Sending Logstash's logs to C:/Program Files/logstash-6.3.2-windows-x86_64/logs which is now configured via log4j2.properties [2020-10-14T14:03:27,167][WARN][logstash.config.source.multilocal] Ignoring the 'pipelines.yml' file because modules or command line options are specified [2020-10-14T14:03:27,872][INFO][logstash.runner] Starting Logstash {"logstash.version"=>"6.3.2"} [2020-10-14T14:03:33,065][INFO][logstash.pipeline] Starting pipeline {:pipeline_id=>"main", "pipeline.workers"=>4, "pipeline.batch.size"=>125, "pipeline.batch.delay"=>50} [2020-10-14T14:03:33,397][INFO][logstash.pipeline] Pipeline started successfully {:pipeline_id=>"main", :thread=>"#"} [2020-10-14T14:03:33,550][INFO][logstash.agent] Pipelines running {:count=>1, :running_pipelines=>[:main], :non_running_pipelines=>[]} [2020-10-14T14:03:34,051][WARN][logstash.inputs.jms] JMS Consumer Died {:exception=>"TypeError", :exception_message=>"cannot convert instance of class org.jruby.RubyString to boolean", :backtrace=>["C:/Program Files/logstash-6.3.2-windows-x86_64/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.3.0/gems/jruby-jms-1.3.0-java/lib/jms/connection.rb:193:in `block in initialize'", "org/jruby/RubyHash.java:1343:in `each'", "C:/Program Files/logstash-6.3.2-windows-x86_64/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.3.0/gems/jruby-jms-1.3.0-java/lib/jms/connection.rb:188:in `initialize'", "C:/Program Files/logstash-6.3.2-windows-x86_64/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.3.0/gems/logstash-input-jms-3.1.2-java/lib/logstash/inputs/jms.rb:225:in `run'", "C:/Program Files/logstash-6.3.2-windows-x86_64/logstash-core/lib/logstash/pipeline.rb:512:in `inputworker'", "C:/Program Files/logstash-6.3.2-windows-x86_64/logstash-core/lib/logstash/pipeline.rb:505:in `block in start_input'"]} [2020-10-14T14:03:34,105][INFO][logstash.agent] Successfully started Logstash API endpoint {:port=>9600} [2020-10-14T14:03:36,360][WARN][logstash.runner] SIGINT received.

Can you try commenting out the factory\_settings option of the input? ---

Worked like a charm. 🙂 What was the hint for you to understand the issue? I am intrigued to know the approach used 😉 ---

Hi all, I have a similar issue trying to set the watchTopicAdvisories parameter to false in the factory\_settings. Unfortunately, commenting this section out is not an option as I need this parameter set. The exact configuration line in the jms input plug-in section which is causing the problem is: `factory_settings => { watchTopicAdvisories => false }` Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong or alternate ways of setting this parameter? [edit] I am currently using Logstash version 7.7.0. Thanks! Chris ---
