Cannot Start Logstash

[Murr (Achmad Muqorobin)]

I cannot install logstash successfully.

1. I tried to do this

sudo /usr/share/logstash/bin/system-install /etc/logstash/startup.options systemd

The output is

Using provided startup.options file: /etc/logstash/startup.options
Manually creating startup for specified platform: systemd
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: INFO: os::commit_memory(0x00000000c53 30000, 986513408, 0) failed; error='Cannot allocate memory' (errno=12)
/usr/share/logstash/bin/system-install: line 88: #: command not found
Unable to install system startup script for Logstash.

2. I tried to do this

/usr/share/logstash/bin/system-install

The output is

/usr/share/logstash/bin/system-install: line 45: : No such file or directory

Does any solution please?

Thanks

Hi Achmad,

There are no tricks in IT The error clearly says what the problem is. You dont have java installed on the machine your trying to install logstash.

I am not sure how and what and why but mabey a clear guide can help.

Please have a read here and I think this will push you in the right direction..

Paul.
