My logstash service status change into "Active (Exited)" after few seconds of starting the service.  
I got a logstash error as follows in the logstash.log

{:timestamp=\>"2016-10-10T11:11:04.510000+0530", :message=\>"stopping pipeline", :id=\>"main"}  
{:timestamp=\>"2016-10-10T11:33:10.283000+0530", :message=\>"Pipeline aborted due to error", :exception=\>"LogStash::ConfigurationError", :backtrace=\>["/opt/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/logstash-core-2.4.0-java/lib/logstash/config/mixin.rb:88:in `config_init'", "org/jruby/RubyHash.java:1342:in`each'", "/opt/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/logstash-core-2.4.0-java/lib/logstash/config/mixin.rb:72:in `config_init'", "/opt/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/logstash-core-2.4.0-java/lib/logstash/outputs/base.rb:79:in`initialize'", "/opt/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/logstash-core-2.4.0-java/lib/logstash/output\_delegator.rb:74:in `register'", "/opt/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/logstash-core-2.4.0-java/lib/logstash/pipeline.rb:181:in`start\_workers'", "org/jruby/RubyArray.java:1613:in `each'", "/opt/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/logstash-core-2.4.0-java/lib/logstash/pipeline.rb:181:in`start\_workers'", "/opt/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/logstash-core-2.4.0-java/lib/logstash/pipeline.rb:136:in `run'", "/opt/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/logstash-core-2.4.0-java/lib/logstash/agent.rb:491:in`start\_pipeline'"], :level=\>:error}

and my conf file as follows

input {  
lumberjack {  
port =\> 5000  
type =\> "logs"  
ssl\_certificate =\> "/etc/pki/tls/certs/logstash-forwarder.crt"  
ssl\_key =\> "/etc/pki/tls/private/logstash-forwarder.key"  
}  
}

filter {  
if [type] == "syslog" {  
grok {  
match =\> { "message" =\> "%{SYSLOGTIMESTAMP:syslog\_timestamp} %{SYSLOGHOST:syslog\_hostname} %{DATA:syslog\_program}(?:[%{POSINT:syslog\_pid}])?: %{GREEDYDATA:syslog\_message}" }  
add\_field =\> ["received\_at", "%{@timestamp}"]  
add\_field =\> ["received\_from", "%{host}"]  
}  
syslog\_pri {}  
date {  
match =\> ["syslog\_timestamp", "MMM dd HH:mm:ss", "MMM dd HH:mm:ss"]  
}  
}  
}

output {  
elasticsearch host =\> ["localhost"]  
stdout { codec =\> rubydebug }  
}

what could be the issue??
