You need to share the full log you are getting on Logstash.

Are you running LS on Linux or Win?

• sincedb_path => "NUL" - Windows
• sincedb_path => "/dev/null" - Linux

How did you run LS, as a process or a service?

Might be a user doesn't have permission on /Users/spbhati/Documents/dockerfiles/outfile.csv or /Users/spbhati/Downloads/S3BucketConfiguration.csv
Are you missing the drive letter: C:/Users/....

For testing purpose, you can use for the output:

output {
    stdout { codec => rubydebug{} }
}

That is normally a DEBUG message, not an ERROR. It should not stop anything working.

sincedb_path => "NULL"

That will persist the in-memory sincedb to a file called NULL in logstash's working directory. On Windows you should use "NUL", on UNIX use "/dev/null".
