Hello,  
Please help.  
**1. I download Logstash 2.3.1 All Plugins**  
**2. unzip to /opt/elastic/logstash-2.3.1/**  
**3. in /opt/elastic/logstash-2.3.1/bin add config.conf:**  
input {  
beats {  
port =\> 5044  
}  
}  
output {  
elasticsearch {  
hosts =\> "[srvis074.rccf.ru:9200](http://srvis074.rccf.ru:9200)"  
manage\_template =\> false  
index =\> "%{[@metadata][beat]}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"  
document\_type =\> "%{[@metadata][type]}"  
}  
}  
**4. started the logstash** :  
[root@server logstash-2.3.1]# bin/logstash agent -f bin/config.conf  
Settings: Default pipeline workers: 4  
Pipeline main started

Questions:

1. Does it is normal that I see only **Pipeline main started** after started the logstash?
2. How I can add the logstash to autorun services?
