Logstash.yml to collect IIS logs with filebeat error

Getting error trying to start logstash with following config file
.\logstash.bat -f logstash.yml

LOGSTASH.YML

input {

}
}

filter {

Ignore the comments that IIS will add to the start of the W3C logs

if [message] =~ "^#" {
drop {}
}

grok {

2nd question is there a IIS Module that needs to be installed for Logstash?

I was able to setup ELK stack for collecting Windows Event Logs with Winlogbeat but having issues with IIS

Thanks!

Seems to be a problem with your logstash.yml. Please post it and make sure you format it as preformatted text using Markdown notation or the </> toolbar button.

No.

Magnus, the logstash.yml file is above

You posted a pipeline configuration file that you for some reason have named logstash.yml. That's the standard name for Logstash's settings file, which is a different file. Logstash isn't starting up because it's having problems loading the settings file, so it's probably getting hold of your pipeline configuration file.
