Hi,

I updated to Logstash version 5.1.1 and my previous configuration file doesnt work.

The error message is:

> [ERROR][logstash.agent] fetched an invalid config {:config=\>"input {\n beats {\n port =\> 5044\n ssl =\> true\n ssl\_certificate =\> "/etc/pki/tls/certs/logstash-forwarder.crt"\n ssl\_key =\> "/etc/pki/tls/private/logstash-forwarder.key"\n }\n}\noutput {\n redis {\n host =\> "192.168.0.5"\n port =\> "6379"\n password =\> "password"\n type =\> "redis-input"\n key =\> "filebeat"\n data\_type =\> "list"\n , :reason=\>"The setting `type` in **plugin `redis` is obsolete and is no longer available**. You can achieve this same behavior with the new conditionals, like: `if [type] == \"sometype\" { redis { ... } }`. If you have any questions about this, you are invited to visit [Logstash - Discuss the Elastic Stack](https://discuss.elastic.co/c/logstash) and ask."}

My config is

> output {  
> redis {  
> host =\> "192.168.0.5"  
> port =\> "6379"  
> password =\> "password"  
> type =\> "redis-input"  
> key =\> "filebeat"  
> data\_type =\> "list"  
> }  
> }

Any help how I should format my config?

    redis {
