                # Beats -> Logstash -> Elasticsearch pipeline.

                }

                }

                output{

Solution that worked

windows

1. wrong Jdbc path.
2. mysql driver issue.

Config

                        jdbc {
                        jdbc_driver_library => "C:/logstash-6.5.1/logstash-core/lib/jars/x-pack-sql-jdbc-6.5.1.jar"
                        jdbc_driver_class => "com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver"
                        jdbc_connection_string => "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test"
                        jdbc_user => "root"
                        jdbc_password => ""
                        statement => "SELECT * FROM persons"
                        jdbc_paging_enabled => "true"
                        jdbc_page_size => "50000"
                        }

                        }

                        output{
                        elasticsearch { codec => json hosts => ["127.0.0.1:9200:9200"] index => "persons" }
                        stdout { codec => rubydebug }
                        }

Hope it help others.

Ok since you're located in the logstash/bin folder and your logstash-sample.conf fiel is located in the logstash/config folder, you need to run logstash like this:

C:\logstash-6.5.1\bin> logstash -f ../config/logstash-sample.conf
                                        ^
                                        |
                               add this relative path
