Hi,
The error I am getting is as follows:
Sending Logstash logs to C:/logstash/logs which is now configured via log4j2.properties
[2018-12-03T17:04:03,950][WARN][logstash.config.source.multilocal] Ignoring the 'pipelines.yml' file because modules or command line options are specified
[2018-12-03T17:04:05,051][FATAL][logstash.runner] The given configuration is invalid. Reason: Expected one of #, {, ,, ] at line 10, column 13 (byte 173) after filter {

[2018-12-03T17:04:05,076][ERROR][org.logstash.Logstash] java.lang.IllegalStateException: Logstash stopped processing because of an error: (SystemExit) exit
My configuration file is:

}
}
filter {
mutate {
gsub =\> ["event\_data.NewProcessName", ".OUTLOOK._", "outlook.exe"]
#"event\_data.NewProcessName", ".WINWORD._", "word.exe"
}
}
output{
elasticsearch {
hosts =\> ["localhost:9200"]
}
}
Can you please help me in resolving the error...
Thanks
Regards
