configuration file issue

[durvesh09]

After trying to execute run cmd: sudo modbus_simulator -c str

getting following error:

Invalid Monitor configuration file

sounds like you are passing an invalid configuration file, could you paste the configuration here ?

[durvesh09]

here is the configuration file :

it works fine for me, what OS are you running this ? Just for your info, I have attached the config file you have pasted above here , just change the extension to .yml and use.
