Unmatched End Tag Error Message

[peredoc]

What is a problem?

Hello all,

Been smashing my head against my keyboard for the last few hours. I'm getting an unmatched end tag error with my fluentd.conf file. This works just fine on another forwarder with the only line that was changed was the channel that fluentd should be reading from. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

Describe the configuration of Fluentd

<source>
  @type windows_eventlog2
  @id windows_eventlog2
  channels wec-security
  parse_description
  read_existing_events false
  tag wec-security
  <storage>
    @type local
    persistent true
    path C:\logs\wec_security.json
  </storage>
  <parse>
    @type none
  </parse>
</source>

<match wec-security>
  @type forward
  @id forward
  require_ack_response true
  <server>
    host xxxx
    port 24224
  </server>
</match>

I ended up building the conf in VSCode and looks like it made a difference
