Logstash not working in Windows 10

I'm new to ELK, sorry If I'm asking the basic question. I have a setup of ELK in windows 10. Java is already installed and JAVA_HOME path is set.

I have installed:

When I'm testing the installation of ELK, Elasticsearch (http://localhost:9200) and Kibana (http://localhost:5601/app/kibana) are up and running, but when I run the test command logstash -e 'input { stdin { } } output { stdout {} }', logstash shows the following error **The system cannot find the path specified**

The system cannot find the path specified. [FATAL] 2017-09-21 18:49:52.403 [main] runner - An unexpected error occurred! {:error=>java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Illegal character in path at index 24: file:///D:/Trainings/ELK stack/logstash-5.6.1/config/log4j2.properties, :backtrace=>["java.net.URI.create(java/net/URI.java:852)", "java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(java/lang/reflect/Method.java:498)", "RUBY.reconfigure(D:/Trainings/ELK stack/logstash-5.6.1/logstash-core/lib/logstash/logging/logger.rb:78)", "org.jruby.ext.thread.Mutex.synchronize(org/jruby/ext/thread/Mutex.java:149)", "RUBY.reconfigure(D:/Trainings/ELK stack/logstash-5.6.1/logstash-core/lib/logstash/logging/logger.rb:77)", "RUBY.execute(D:/Trainings/ELK stack/logstash-5.6.1/logstash-core/lib/logstash/runner.rb:224)", "RUBY.run(D:/Trainings/ELK stack/logstash-5.6.1/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/clamp-0.6.5/lib/clamp/command.rb:67)", "RUBY.run(D:/Trainings/ELK stack/logstash-5.6.1/logstash-core/lib/logstash/runner.rb:204)", "RUBY.run(D:/Trainings/ELK stack/logstash-5.6.1/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/clamp-0.6.5/lib/clamp/command.rb:132)", "D_3a_.Trainings.ELK_20_stack.logstash_minus_5_dot_6_dot_1.lib.bootstrap.environment.(root)(D:\Trainings\ELK stack\logstash-5.6.1\lib\bootstrap\environment.rb:71)", "D_3a_.Trainings.ELK_20_stack.logstash_minus_5_dot_6_dot_1.lib.bootstrap.environment.(root)(D_3a_/Trainings/ELK_20_stack/logstash_minus_5_dot_6_dot_1/lib/bootstrap/D:\Trainings\ELK stack\logstash-5.6.1\lib\bootstrap\environment.rb:71)"]}

>>> 'file:///D:/Trainings/ELK stack/logstash-5.6.1/config/log4j2.properties'[24]
' '

Looks like part of logstash is failing to handle the space in your path, try removing the space from ../ELK stack/...

Maybe open an issue with them on github about it as well. You are not the only one running into this issue, as can be seen https://discuss.elastic.co/t/logstash-windows-paths-with-spaces-break-plugin-installation/93586
