I had two .sincedb files at the same time. Deleted but I am still getting a blinking cursor when I issue the following:

> HOME\_NET/bin/logstash -f first-pipeline.conf

I would agree with you that the sincedb was part of the issue. Also, unless It takes more than a few minutes for logstash to log a apache log the problem still persists. (Imagine the cursor is blink on the next line)

> Settings: Default filter workers: 1  
> Logstash startup completed

I will keep troubleshooting. Let me know if you need any more questions asked about details or others paths to confirm something.

UPDATE: [Reading a log file into Logstash - #5 by gruszeckim2](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/reading-a-log-file-into-logstash/24514/5)

There is more to this issue. I will update as I get more information after deciphering the debugging phase.
