I am getting this logstash error while running a command.`bin/logstash -f /Users/chetatri/Desktop/logstash/csv.conf`

and further, I figure out it because of #sincedb\_path =\> "/dev/null" and if I comment this it working else it gave me the error. What happening in the background I don't understand - Can anybody help me to understand. i also wanted to understand how to get logstash plugin and make it work locally and where i can find detail logs of logstash.
