I would like the logstash service to restart automatically every Tuesday at 8:00 p.m. What type of configuration can you offer me? ---

You would have to do this externally to the service. Every service manager I am familiar with allows services to be stopped and started using the command line. Just put a stop and start in a script and then schedule that. ---

I have no idea what scheduler or service manager you are using, so no, I cannot. ---

That would be something like ``` 0 19 * * 2 systemctl restart logstash ``` in root's crontab. ---
