I am using RabbitMq plugin for input in logstash and sending rabbitmq message on elasticsearch in outoput. I have created config file as below

input {  
rabbitmq {  
host =\> "ip address of rabbitmq server"  
user =\> "mike"  
password =\> "mike123"  
subscription\_retry\_interval\_seconds =\>5  
}  
}

output {  
elasticsearch {  
hosts =\> ["localhost:9200"]  
}  
}

but when testing configuration i am getting error in configuration like unexpected Error: No config file found at ..Can you make sure file is logstash.config and  
Some lengthy error below like  
C:/ELK-Stack/logstash-2.4.0/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/logstash..

Can anyone please share sample for rabbitmq input plugin config file?

Please quote the exact error message. It doesn't sound like something related to the rabbitmq input. What happens if you comment out that plugin in your config file?

You're not telling the plugin which messages to subscribe to. You'll have to specify some combination of the `vhost`, `exchange`, `queue`, and `key` options.
