Hi everyone I'm a newbie on ELK. I just download the logstash and when I run it it gives this error:  
[main] Logstash - java.lang.IllegalStateException: Logstash stopped processing because of an error: (ArgumentError) invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII

It didn't happened when I run kibana and elasticsearch. So I couldn't fix it, anybody help?  
Thanks in advance.
