I am looking to create a simple logstash configuration in the Linux command line according to the first example shown here [Logstash Configuration Examples | Logstash Reference [6.3] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/6.3/config-examples.html) .

Here is all that is uncommented in logstash.yml :

> path.data: /var/lib/logstash  
> path.config: /etc/logstash/conf.d/log-apache-filter.conf  
> path.logs: /var/log/logstash \\

And here is pipelines.yml :

> pipeline.id: main  
> path.config: "/etc/logstash/conf.d/log-apache-filter.conf" \>

My configuration is:

> input { stdin { } }  
> filter {  
> grok {  
> match =\> { "message" =\> "%{COMBINEDAPACHELOG}" }  
> }  
> date {  
> match =\> ["timestamp" , "dd/MMM/yyyy:HH:mm:ss Z"]  
> }  
> }  
> output {  
> elasticsearch { hosts =\> ["localhost:9200"] }  
> stdout { codec =\> rubydebug }  
> }

And when i type logstash -f log-apache-filter.conf the error I am receiving is:

> [ERROR] 2018-06-11 13:12:55.165 [Ruby-0-Thread-1: /usr/share/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.3.0/gems/stud-0.0.23/lib/stud/task.rb:22] sourceloader - No configuration found in the configured sources.

Please help, I've tried looking at other's posts over this same issue but still can't seem to figure it out.

And you're starting Logstash from /etc/logstash/conf.d, i.e. that's your current directory?
