Hi,

I have installed logstash on windows and trying to parse the logs using grok from an log file mentioned in the tutorial i.e. logstash-tutorial.log. On debug mode i see the below exception

COmmand  
logstash -f "C:\Users\609614066\Documents\Project 8 Elastic Stack\Softwares\logstash-all-plugins-2.4.0\logstash-2.4.0\first-pipeline.conf" --debug

Config File

input {  
file {  
path =\> "C:\Users\609614066\Documents\logstash-tutorial.txt"  
}  
}  
filter {  
grok {  
match =\> { "message" =\> "%{COMBINEDAPACHELOG}"}  
}  
}  
output {  
file {  
path =\> "C:\Users\609614066\Documents\test.txt"  
}  
}

OUTPUT  
←[36m\_globbed\_files: C:\Users\609614066\Documents\logstash-tutorial.txt: glob is: **["C:\Users\609614066\Documents\logstash-tutorial.txt"] because glob did not work {:level=\>:debug,** :file=\>"/Users/609614066/Documents/Project 8 Elastic Stack

Try removing the spaces from your directory paths and try again?
