What's wrong with this conf?: (free beer for anyone who can help, in Guelph Ontario)  
#Input from Log03 servers for bellMTS  
input {  
elasticsearch {  
host =\> "192.168.76.249"  
query =\> '{"query":{ "match": {"Web\_Host": "emailpreferences.mts.ca"}}}  
}  
}  
#output section  
output {  
elasticsearch {  
hosts =\> "10.100.100.34"  
index =\> "bellmts-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"  
}  
}

The Error we get is:

Failed to execute action {:action=\>LogStash::PipelineAction::Create/pipeline\_id:Bell MTS, :exception=\>"LogStash::ConfigurationError", :message=\>"Expected one of \', ', any character at line 14, column 10 (byte 328) after #Input from Log03 servers for bellMTS\ninput {\n\telasticsearch\t{\n\t\thost =\> "192.168.76.249"\n\t\tquery =\> '{"query":{ "match": {"Web\_Host": "emailpreferences.mts.ca"}}} \n }\n }\n#output section\noutput {\n\telasticsearch {\n hosts =\> "10.100.100.34"\n index =\> "bellmts-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"\n }\n }", :backtrace=\>["/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/compiler.rb:41:in `compile_imperative'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/compiler.rb:49:in`compile\_graph'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/compiler.rb:11:in `block in compile_sources'", "org/jruby/RubyArray.java:2577:in`map'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/compiler.rb:10:in `compile_sources'", "org/logstash/execution/AbstractPipelineExt.java:151:in`initialize'", "org/logstash/execution/JavaBasePipelineExt.java:47:in `initialize'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/java_pipeline.rb:24:in`initialize'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/pipeline\_action/create.rb:36:in `execute'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/agent.rb:325:in`block in converge\_state'"]}

I know it must be something simple, what am I missing.

Maybe you are missing a `'` at the end of the line of  
`query => '{"query":{ "match": {"Web_Host": "emailpreferences.mts.ca"}}}'`

Thanks added that, (it was missing) now we have a different error:
