Error: Expected one of #, input, filter, output at line 24, column 1 (byte 528) after "}

I am able to run logstash as:

bin/logstash -f /etc/logstash/conf.d/config.json

but running logstash as a service 

sudo service logstash start

is giving me the following error:

... Error: Expected one of #, input, filter, output at line 24, column 1 (byte 528) after "}

Not sure what I am doing wrong here? Configtest also says the config file is fine.

bin/logstash -f /etc/logstash/conf.d/config.json --configtest
Configuration OK

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

FYI mine complains about line about line 163 and my combined files don't get that far.

Here someone had left an ~.vimrc file in the conf.d directory, which was then appended to the big configuration file.

--configtest probably ignores the file, but reading configs did not.

When logstash runs, it combines all the files in your config directory into one file. When there's an error, you're getting line and position information into that merged config.

Try:

cat /etc/logstash/conf.d/* > /tmp/total.conf

and then look at line 24 or 25 there.
