Hi, I have a very strange problem where my config (http\_poller) works perfectly fine when I run it from the CLI (either as a normal user or sudo) but when I start logstash as a service it doesn't do anything. Logstash is starting, not producing any errors, but doesn't output any data. As the config works from the cli and there aren't any errors in the logs, I'm at a loss what to do. Extremely vague problem. ---

Never mind, my own fault. Missed a missing if statement in a different config that didn't crash logstash nor interfere with other configs, but did with this one. ---
