Your description and your comment are totally unrelated.
In your description you have an invalid configuration because the input{ string is repeated between redis and eventlog, it should simply be
input {
redis {...}
eventlog{...}
}Your comment is a charset conversion issue, where you should most probably define the charset config for your input that are not UTF8, plese try latest version of logstash 1.4.x because lot of improvments have been done related to charset handling

Just gone back to using version 1.2.1 and I'm seeing the conversion errors but it's actually not stopping logstash..

Trying to configure a windows eventlog of logstash and after configuration I get the error below when I try to start Logstash and it fails to start.
