Hi All,

We are unable to get Logstash to respond after feeding an analysis file to it. This file and the syntax used by us seems alright since we are getting a "Configuration OK!" message in the configuration tester. Yet when we execute it with the same file, it seems to get stuck forcing us to stop it abruptly.

Below are the list of commands executed and the output. Any pointers to where we are going wrong would certainly help a lot. Thanks.

[root@logstash  
logstash]# pwd

/opt/logstash

[root@logstash  
logstash]# cat cbord-pipeline.conf

input {

file {

```
path => "/PrivLogs/cbord/*.csv"

 
type => "cbord"

 
start_position => "beginning"

  }

```

}

filter {

```
csv {

```

columns =\> ["Process\_name", "@timestamp",  
"Userid", "Mrn", "System\_option\_description"]

separator =\> ","

```
}

```

}

output {

elasticsearch {

action =\> "index"

hosts =\> ["localhost:9200"]

index =\> "logstash-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"

workers =\> 1

```
}

# stdout

```

{

```
#  

```

codec =\> rubydebug

```
# }

```

}

[root@logstash  
logstash]# bin/logstash -f cbord-pipeline.conf --configtest

Configuration OK

[root@logstash  
logstash]# bin/logstash -f cbord-pipeline.conf

Settings: Default pipeline  
workers: 4

This means it is waiting for new data. Cat some new lines to the end of the file.

Also, take a look at [File input plugin | Logstash Reference [8.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-file.html#_tracking_of_current_position_in_watched_files)
