Hi Team,
I'm trying to run a simple logstash configuration that is mentioned below
```
input {
beats {
port => 5044
}
}
filter {
kv {
source => "message"
trim => "{}"
field_split => ","
value_split => ":"
}
}
output {
stdout {
codec => rubydebug
}
}
```
I'm getting an "Something is wrong with your configuration Error". I could figure out why exactly this error is thrown.

Any ideas on what might have gone wrong ?

In your log:
```
[2018-11-26T19:39:02,887][ERROR][logstash.filters.kv] Unknown setting 'trim' for kv
```
There is no setting "trim" for KV, there is "trim\_key" or "trim\_value", please correct this.
