Hi,  
I am newbie on elasticsearch.  
I tried to import my "logstash\_general.conf" to elasticsearch.  
However, It didn't work.  
when I entered following command,

```
/usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash -f /home/cylee/logstash_general.conf --path.settings=/etc/logstash

```

The response from the terminal is like this

```
 ERROR StatusLogger No log4j2 configuration file found. Using default configuration: logging only errors to the console. Sending Logstash's logs to /var/log/logstash which is now configured via log4j2.properties

```

I imported log.conf successfully whichi is provided by elasticsearch, so I think either .csv or .conf would be a cause.

This is log file for logstsash.

```

This is my "logstash\_general.conf" file & "PRSA\_data\_2010.1.1-2014.12.31.csv "

ps) I try to import prsa~.csv to use machine learning but I have no idea how to make timestamp.  
It will be really great if you consider about timestamp. 🙂

Have a nice day!

Please don't post pictures of text, they are difficult to read and some people may not be even able to see them 🙂

That output just means Logstash has started and is waiting for input.
