I am getting this below error in my environment where I am using logstash to collect and transfer logs to syslog server and also storing it locally.

[2025-03-14T09:00:37,853][FATAL][org.logstash.Logstash] Logstash stopped processing because of an error: (SystemExit) exit  
org.jruby.exceptions.SystemExit: (SystemExit) exit

I checked the .conf file its ok, also changed ownership to logstash,
