Hi, I'm trying to start my logstash pipe configuration file but it tell me "command not found" :  
''' /home/logstash/test.conf: ligne 3: [/home/logstash/testdata.log]: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type  
/home/logstash/test.conf: ligne 4: sincedb\_path : commande introuvable  
/home/logstash/test.conf: ligne 5: start\_position : commande introuvable  
/home/logstash/test.conf: ligne 6: erreur de syntaxe près du symbole inattendu « } »  
/home/logstash/test.conf: ligne 6: ` }' '''

There is my file :  
''' input {  
file {  
path =\> ["/home/logstash/testdata.log"]  
sincedb\_path =\> "/dev/null"  
start\_position =\> "beginning"  
}  
}  
filter {  
}  
output {  
stdout {  
codec =\> json  
}  
}  
'''
