how to configure logstash with elasticsearch in window8?

I'm currently trying to install and run Logstash on Windows 7 using the guidelines of the Logstash website. I am struggling to configure and use logstash with elasticsearch. Created logstash-simple.conf with below content

`

enter code here`input { stdin { } }
output {
  elasticsearch { hosts => ["localhost:9200"] }
  stdout { codec => rubydebug }

}

when i execute below Command: 

 D:\logstash-2.4.0\bin>logstash agent  -f logstash-simple.conf

I get following error, i tried many things but i get same error

←[31mNo config files found: D:/logstash-2.4.0/bin/logstash-simple.conf
Can you make sure this path is a logstash config file? {:level=>:error}←[0m
The signal HUP is in use by the JVM and will not work correctly on this platform

D:\logstash-2.4.0\bin>

Solution

  • Read No config files found in the error. So Logstash can't find the logstash-simple.conf file.

    So try 

    D:\logstash-2.4.0\bin>logstash agent  -f [Direct path to the folder containing logstash-simple.conf]logstash-simple.conf
