# logstash config file has three sections:
# input{}, output{}, and (optional) filter{}; add plugins
# to specify how events should be handled in each section

input {

        consumer_key => "YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY"

output {

  	}
}

I put this in and it gave me, zsh: parse error near `}'
I'm using MacOS Big Sur and homebrew .

Do I call up the logstash using cd first then go into the bin then do this? Or??

Hi @cjw62600. The config file works fine for me. Maybe double check to see if you are missing any bracket? Read more here for configuring Logstash: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/configuration.html

You many need to cd to bin first before start streaming with logstash. Double check the directory layout for homebrew installs: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/brew.html

Please advise how can I change location to other country than Australia. Because I try to change but Logstash show error as seen below. But when I use your location in example, everything is OK.

How do I go about creating the .conf file? I am new to coding
