FATA[06-05-2021 08:18:55 AM] yaml: line 24: did not find expected key
Hello,
When i try to configure mysql distant database, after saving file, i try to add a machine but i receive an alert and the crowdsec service stopping…
message = level=fatal msg=“yaml: line 21: did not find expected key”
When i look in the config file, the line 21 is about the db_path: /var/lib/crowdsec/data/crowdsec.db
I comment it …
I follow the tutorial database Databases - Crowdsec
I try to telnet the distant port server and it’s work, so the comunication between the two servers is working.
here is my config :
Could you help me please.
Hello,
Looks like your issue is caused by a bad indentation in your YAML config: log_level and type are indented with 2 spaces, while the rest of the db_config object is indented with 1 space.
Indent everything with only 1 space, and your issue should be fixed 
Thanks for your reply,
I try what you said me but it not seems to be working…
I still have the same message : (here my modification about indented… i kept the 2 spaces default indented)
Here the error message after trying to start crowdsec service with sudo systemctl start crowdsec
Which version of crowdsec are you using ?
Can you upload your configuration file (after redacting all sensitives information) so I can have a closer look ?
Hi, Thanks for helping me.
The version is : 1.0.13 (last version)
Here the conf with exact syntax :

Unfortunately, discource messed your config 
I tried to recreate it based on your screenshot, but I am unable to reproduce your error.
The only way I managed to do it was to randomly removing one space before a key, so something must still be wrong with your indentation.
If you want, you can drop by our gitter (crowdsec-project/community - Gitter) so that we can try to debug your issue live.
