I am trying to run logstash on Windows, but keep receiving error messages.
I have a config file (logstash.conf) located at D:\elk\logstash-5.2.1\
When I ran bin\logstash -f logstash.conf from D:\elk\logstash-5.2.1, it showed the following error message:
10:38:19.617 [LogStash::Runner] INFO logstash.agent - No config files found
in path {:path=>"D:/elk/logstash-5.2.1/logstash.conf"}
10:38:19.625 [LogStash::Runner] ERROR logstash.agent - failed to fetch
pipeline configuration {:message=>"No config files found: logstash.conf. Can
you make sure this path is a logstash config file?"}
When I specified the full path (aka bin\logstash -f "D:\elk\logstash-5.2.1\logstash.conf"), the followings showed up:
10:47:44.621 [LogStash::Runner] ERROR logstash.agent - failed to fetch
pipeline configuration {:message=>"No config files found:
D:\\elk\\logstash-5.2.1\\logstash.conf.
Can you make sure this path is a logstash config file?"}
(I also tried using slash instead of backslash, with and without the double quote for path, still didn't work)
The strange thing is that when I run logstash on other machine (with exact ELK configuration), Logstash run smoothly.
I have been doing a lot of research but could not find any solution, any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
