I'm having problems to run logstash 6.2.2 with the translate filter:

This is my translate filter code  
\<\>

translate {  
field =\> "month"  
dictionary =\> {"01"=\>"Jan", "02"=\>"Feb"}  
destination =\> "monthletter"  
}

\</\>

I can run logstash when setting only field in the dictionary pram.  
That is :  
\<\>  
translate {  
field =\> "month"  
dictionary =\> {"01"=\>"Jan"}  
destination =\> "monthletter"  
}  
\</\>

But when I try to add more fields to the dictionary  
the execution stops due to an ERROR.

¿Any help?

What error?!

> dictionary =\> {"01"=\>"Jan", "02"=\>"Feb"}

I think you need to remove the comma.
