Hi all,  
I'm new to ELK. I need to use ELK for log analysis. But for getting a hands on experiencing I've started with a small .csv file. I'm using Elasticsearch 6.4, Kibana 6.4 and Logstash 6.4.  
I'm using Windows 8. I've created a .conf file as below and saved it in a folder "data" as logstash\_test.conf in my desktop.

input {  
file {  
path =\> "C:\Users\Shaheel\Desktop\data\test.csv"  
start\_position =\> "beginning"  
sincedb\_path =\> "\dev\null"  
}  
}  
filter {  
csv {  
columns =\> ["Loan\_ID","Gender","Married","Dependents","Education","Self\_Employed"]  
}

}  
ouput {  
elasticsearch {  
hosts =\> "localhost"  
index =\> "test"  
document\_type =\> "test\_data"  
}  
stdout {}  
}

Then in Windows command prompt I've excecuted following command as administrator

C:\Users\Shaheel\Desktop\ELK\logstash-6.4.0\bin\> logstash -f C:\Users\Shaheel\Desktop\data\logstash\_test.conf

But I'm getting following error.

It's "output", not "ouput".
