How to configure LumberJack(LogStash-forwarder) on windows - json

Question

I've installed ELK on my ubuntu server using this manual,
Now i want to index some log files from a windows server so I installed a logstash forwarder (LumberJack), but I can't get it to run.
this is the logstash-forwarder.conf file :
{
"network": {
"servers": [ "http://XX.XX.XX.XX:5000" ],
"ssl key": "D:/lumberjack/pki/tls/certs/logstash-forwarder.crt",
"ssl ca": "D:/lumberjack/pki/tls/certs/logstash-forwarder.crt",
"timeout": 15,
},
"files": [
{
"paths": [
#single paths are fine
"D:/bea12/Oracle/Middleware/domains/Google/servers/RT1/logs/AppLogs/RT1_APP_9_0.log",
#globs are fine too, they will be periodically evaluated
#to see if any new files match the wildcard.
"/var/logauth.log"
],
]
}
}
and this is the Error I get when i'm trying to run the "lumberjack.exe" ,
That I created with go-build:
2015/04/30 18:17:39.052033 Failed unmarshalling json: invalid character '}' looking for beginning of object key string
2015/04/30 18:17:39.052033 Could not load config file d:\lumberjack\logstash-forwarder.conf: invalid character '}' looking for beginning of object key string
Can anyone please tell me what am I doing wrong?
By the way this is the command I'm using to run the forwarder:
lumberjack.exe -config="d:\lumberjack\logstash-forwarder.conf"

Answer 1

Ok.
So the problem was in the configuration file, There were 2 unnecesary commas and no need for the http:\ at the start:
{
"network": {
"servers": [ "XX.XX.XX.XX:5000" ],
"ssl key": "D:/lumberjack/pki/tls/certs/logstash-forwarder.key",
"ssl ca": "D:/lumberjack/pki/tls/certs/logstash-forwarder.crt",
"timeout": 15
},
"files": [
{
"paths": [
#single paths are fine
"D:/bea12/Oracle/Middleware/domains/google/servers/RT1/logs/AppLogs/RT1_APP_9_0.log",
#globs are fine too, they will be periodically evaluated
#to see if any new files match the wildcard.
"/var/logauth.log"
]
}
]
}
This is my suggested configuration file for LumberJack on windows.
