Im experimenting with logstash, but I can't seem to get it running.  
As soon as i run next line from cmd:  
logstash -e input { stdin { } } output { stdout {} }  
i get:  
\MySQL\Connector was unexpected at this time.  
Any idea what it could be?  
Couldn't find anything on this topic. Is there somethingI'm overlooking?

I fixed it!  
I think it had to do something with the enviroment variables. I deleted them and now it works.
