I’m getting the error:

```auto
Missing required configuration "transforms.insertFormatedTs.type" which has no default value.
Invalid value null for configuration transforms.insertFormatedTs.type: Not a Transformation

```

when trying to deploy the Lenses S3 Connector with the Lenses SMT plugin. What’s the problem?

Make sure there isn’t a typo in your configuration. This is most likely problem. Here’s an example of good configuration:

```auto
transforms=insertFormattedTs
transforms.insertFormattedTs.type=io.lenses.connect.smt.header.TimestampConverter
transforms.insertFormattedTs.header.name=ts
transforms.insertFormattedTs.field=_value.Timestamp
transforms.insertFormattedTs.target.type=string
transforms.insertFormattedTs.format.to.pattern=yyyy-MM-dd-HH

```
