What am I missing? Line 19 is a closing brace. Everything looks correct.
Any ideas?

Some comma signs at the end should not be here I guess.

SOLUTION: remove two commas
curl -XPUT [http://localhost:9200/\_template/logstash\_per\_index](http://localhost:9200/_template/logstash_per_index) -d '{
"template": "logstash\*",
"settings": {
"index.query.default\_field": "@message",
"index.cache.field.type": "soft",
"index.store.compress.stored": true
},
"mappings": {
"_default_": {
"\_all": { "enabled": false },
"properties": {
"@message": { "type": "string", "index": "analyzed" },
"@source": { "type": "string", "index": "not\_analyzed" },
"@source\_host": { "type": "string", "index": "not\_analyzed" },
"@source\_path": { "type": "string", "index": "not\_analyzed" },
"@tags": { "type": "string", "index": "not\_analyzed" },
"@timestamp": { "type": "string", "index": "not\_analyzed" },
"@type": { "type": "string", "index": "not\_analyzed" }
}
}
}
}
'
Remove the comma at the end of any line that ends with } and has no other
items after it.
