Hi, While loading a CSV file into logstash, I am seeing error about Config's line#11 ( separator =\> "," ) which looks pretty normal to me. Can someone suggest what's wrong here. Config: > input { > file { > path =\> "c:\Work\csvs\toxicity.csv" > start\_position =\> "beginning" > sincedb\_path =\> "c:\Work" > } > } > > filter { > csv { > separator =\> "," > columns =\> ["pod","client","trader","ric","Side","washbook", > "dollarvalue","hedgedPNL","bps","bps10","commvalue","profit","bpsTotal"] > } > } > > output { > elasticsearch { > hosts =\> "locahost:9200" > index =\> "Toxicity" > document\_type =\> "Toxicity" > } > stdout { > } > } Error: c:\Work\logstash-6.2.4\>bin\logstash.bat -f ..\csvs\toxicity.cfg Sending Logstash's logs to c:/Work/logstash-6.2.4/logs which is now configured via log4j2.properties [2018-05-23T20:54:33,129][INFO][logstash.modules.scaffold] Initializing module {:module\_name=\>"fb\_apache", :directory=\>"c:/Work/logstash-6.2.4/modules/fb\_apache/configuration"} [2018-05-23T20:54:33,162][INFO][logstash.modules.scaffold] Initializing module {:module\_name=\>"netflow", :directory=\>"c:/Work/logstash-6.2.4/modules/netflow/configuration"} [2018-05-23T20:54:33,560][WARN][logstash.config.source.multilocal] Ignoring the 'pipelines.yml' file because modules or command line options are specified [2018-05-23T20:54:34,350][INFO][logstash.runner] Starting Logstash {"logstash.version"=\>"6.2.4"} [2018-05-23T20:54:35,007][INFO][logstash.agent] Successfully started Logstash API endpoint {:port=\>9600} [2018-05-23T20:54:35,279][ERROR][logstash.agent] Failed to execute action {:action=\>LogStash::PipelineAction::Create/pipeline\_id:main, :exception=\>"LogStash::ConfigurationError", :message=\>"Expected one of #, {, } at line 11, column 17 (byte 154) after input {\n\tfile {\n\t\tpath =\> "c:\Work\csvs\toxicity.csv"\n\t\tstart\_position =\> "beginning"\n\t\tsincedb\_path =\> "c:\Work\"\n\t}\n}\n\nfilter {\n\tcsv {\n\t\tseparator =\> "", :backtrace=\>["c:/Work/logstash-6.2.4/logstash-core/lib/logstash/compiler.rb:42:in `compile_imperative'", "c:/Work/logstash-6.2.4/logstash-core/lib/logstash/compiler.rb:50:in `compile\_graph'", "c:/Work/logstash-6.2.4/logstash-core/lib/logstash/compiler.rb:12:in `block in compile_sources'", "org/jruby/RubyArray.java:2486:in `map'", "c:/Work/logstash-6.2.4/logstash-core/lib/logstash/compiler.rb:11:in `compile_sources'", "c:/Work/logstash-6.2.4/logstash-core/lib/logstash/pipeline.rb:51:in `initialize'", "c:/Work/logstash-6.2.4/logstash-core/lib/logstash/pipeline.rb:169:in `initialize'", "c:/Work/logstash-6.2.4/logstash-core/lib/logstash/pipeline_action/create.rb:40:in `execute'", "c:/Work/logstash-6.2.4/logstash-core/lib/logstash/agent.rb:315:in `block in converge_state'", "c:/Work/logstash-6.2.4/logstash-core/lib/logstash/agent.rb:141:in `with\_pipelines'", "c:/Work/logstash-6.2.4/logstash-core/lib/logstash/agent.rb:312:in `block in converge_state'", "org/jruby/RubyArray.java:1734:in `each'", "c:/Work/logstash-6.2.4/logstash-core/lib/logstash/agent.rb:299:in `converge_state'", "c:/Work/logstash-6.2.4/logstash-core/lib/logstash/agent.rb:166:in `block in converge\_state\_and\_update'", "c:/Work/logstash-6.2.4/logstash-core/lib/logstash/agent.rb:141:in `with_pipelines'", "c:/Work/logstash-6.2.4/logstash-core/lib/logstash/agent.rb:164:in `converge\_state\_and\_update'", "c:/Work/logstash-6.2.4/logstash-core/lib/logstash/agent.rb:90:in `execute'", "c:/Work/logstash-6.2.4/logstash-core/lib/logstash/runner.rb:348:in `block in execute'", ---

sincedb\_path must be a file path and not a directory path. C:\Work seems directory.
