I'm trying to get started with the exec output plugin but nothing i try seems to work. I currently have just the simplest config setting possible for it:
output {
# stdout { codec => rubydebug }
exec => {
command => "ls"
}
}
and it still gives me this error:
[2018-02-17T18:57:39,728][ERROR][logstash.agent ] Failed to execute action {:action=>LogStash::PipelineAction::Create/pipeline_id:main, :exception=>"LogStash::ConfigurationError", :message=>"Expected one of #, { at line 18, column 8 (byte 328) after output {\n# stdout { codec => rubydebug }\n exec ", :backtrace=>["/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/compiler.rb:42:in

which I can't understand at all.
