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:

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

```

That is [normally](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/one-or-more-required-cgroup-files-not-found-of-cgroup/163054/2) a DEBUG message, not an ERROR. It should not stop anything working.

> [@](#):

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".
