Please provide more info, what versions are you on, what does your config look like, can you show us what happens when you startup LS.

logstash 2.1.1 ES 2.1.1 are the versions of Logstash and Elasticsearch,
input {
file {
path =\> "F:\wo\examples\10.log"
```
start_position => "beginning"
sincedb_path => "C:\Users\Akash katakam\null"
}
```
}
filter {
grok {
match =\> { "message" =\> "%{TOMCATLOG %{TOMCAT\_DATESTAMP:timestamp} | %{LOGLEVEL:level} | %{JAVACLASS:class} - %{JAVALOGMESSAGE:logmessage}}"}
}
if "\_grokparsefailure" in [tags] {
drop { }
}
grok {
```
match => ["message", "%{TOMCATLOG}", "message", "%{CATALINALOG}"]
}
date {
match => ["timestamp", "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss,SSS Z", "MMM dd, yyyy HH:mm:ss a"]
}
```
}
output {
elasticsearch {
index =\> "splog1"
}
stdout {}

The output you see is expected, LS has started and is waiting for input. The issue is likely `sincedb`, have you tried to delete the file it creates?
Try changing the input;
```auto
input {
stdin {}
}
```
And then `type F:\wo\examples\10.log > logstash -f ....`
Using `stdin` is the best way to test things like this.

It is not possibly an error.
In my case, when I use a CSV file to update data, For the first time when execute logstash command it executes and uploads successfully, but for the second and further time it doesn't do that.
So what I have figured out with this is, second or later time as long as there is no change in input(file/source) data is not uploaded. So keep console on and try somehow adding data into your log file, and suddenly data will be uploaded.
