[quote]I have upgraded to Logstash 1.5  
Now my zabbix output looks like:

zabbix {  
zabbix\_host =\> "re01os01.net.ot.hr",  
zabbix\_key =\> "broj",  
zabbix\_value =\> "message"  
}  
}

but when i start logstash i got error:

Error: Expected one of #, {, } at line 35, column 36 (byte 784) after output {  
stdout { codec =\> rubydebug }

zabbix {  
zabbix\_host =\> "re01os01.net.ot.hr"  
You may be interested in the '--configtest' flag which you can  
use to validate logstash's configuration before you choose  
to restart a running system.

I don't get it, help!

I found error, it was about ","  
Now I start logstash and it says "Logstash startup completed", and when i input example of Log i got message :"Skipping zabbix output; field referenced by re01os01.net.ot.hr is missing {:level=\>:warn}"

I have configured re01os01.net.ot.hr as Hostname in Zabbix, and my conf looks like:

output {  
zabbix {  
zabbix\_host =\> "re01os01.net.ot.hr"  
zabbix\_key =\> "broj"  
zabbix\_value =\> "message"  
}  
}
