Guys,
I've faced something an ambiguous as below. logstash is telling me no such file, but it exists.
would you someone point me how I could fix this out ?
```
C:\logstash>bin\logstash agent -f conf\sample05.conf

Have you tried using forward slashes in the Logstash configuration, i.e. c:/logstash/conf/jmx.conf instead of c:\logstash\conf\jmx.conf?

Thanks for your reply, Magnus.
Yes, I did. both of them are telling same.
and just tried to seek out something /w --debug.
in case of \ tells me - config LogStash::Inputs::Jmx/@path = "c:\logstash\conf\jmx.conf"
in case of / tells me - config LogStash::Inputs::Jmx/@path = "c:/logstash/conf/jmx.conf"
yap, there's still nothing...

resolved by myself.
logstash-input-jmx is requring path name and no acceptable file name...yap, that's my fault.
I've verified it works when I create the path as c:\logstash\conf\jmx and moved a file jmx.conf to.
logstash\vendor\bundle\jruby\1.9\gems\logstash-input-jmx-0.1.5\lib\logstash\inputs\jmx.rb told me what I made.....
ciao,
