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

It seems like you have an issue at line 37 in your config, so it would help you could show it.

The configuration you posted is only 34 lines, so it is hard to say what logstash objected to at line 37. However, given that it does not print any configuration where it says 'after "' my guess would be an extra trailing } in the file.
```
schedule => "*/5 "
```
That is not a valid schedule.

You need to show us all 37 lines of the configuration. Select the text in the edit pane and click on \ in the tool bar above to quote it so that formatting is retained.
