title: Logstash not working in Windows 10
body: <p>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.</p>
  
  <p>I have installed:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Elasticsearch 5.6.1</li>
  <li>Kibana 5.6.1</li>
  <li>Logstash 5.6.1</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>When I'm testing the installation of ELK, Elasticsearch (<a href="http://localhost:9200" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://localhost:9200</a>)  and Kibana (<a href="http://localhost:5601/app/kibana" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://localhost:5601/app/kibana</a>) are up and running, but when I run the test command <code>logstash -e 'input { stdin { } } output { stdout {} }'</code>, logstash shows the following error <code>**The system cannot find the path specified**</code></p>
