I'm using Windows 10.  
Logstash 7.2.0

I just want to see the output of filter in console window..

My config `c.conf`:

> ```
> input {
> file {
> path => "D:\Elastic\logstash-7.2.0\test\theLogFile"
> start_position => "beginning"
> mode => "read"
> }
> }
> output {
> stdout { codec => rubydebug }
> }
> 
> ```

My log file `theLogFile`:

> ```
> 2019-01-09 09:01:05,333 ERROR-Log Message
> 2019-01-10 09:01:05,333 WARNING-Log Message
> 
> ```

Then I run the logstash:  
`.\bin\logstash -f test\c.conf --config.reload.automatic`

The output:

> ```

Use forward slash in filenames in the path option of a file filter.
