Ok figures, that's not a valid config for the twitter input, take a look at [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-twitter.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-twitter.html)

Hi Warkolm,

Thanks for your quick reply.

It is working fine if i don't mention any filter in config file.

But i am looking for data from particular hashtag("pepsi").So i provided tracks in filter.

If You think it's not work Please give me a solution for the same.

Thanks,  
Dinesh.

As mentioned, read the docs, you will see that the filter you have is not valid, and what you can do to filter by those hashtags.
