Config works if I run logstash on it, but not when run as logstash service

Elastic Stack Logstash
1

Hi guys. I have a config that works if I run logstash on the config individually like this:

$ /opt/logstash/bin/logstash -f someconfig.conf

Or if I run it as root for that matter, but if I run the logstash as a service on Ubuntu and I place my config in the directory where the other configs are located which on my box is

/etc/logstash/conf.d/

then the config just shows grokparsefailure and does not contain much or any data.

If I run this:

$ /opt/logstash/bin/logstash -f insert-config-name-here.conf --configtest

on each config individually then everything seems fine, I get the output:

Configuration OK

after running the command on each config. If I run this: (Then I get an error):

# service logstash configtest

The part of the config that I've changed since the last time when everything worked fine is this part(Perhaps it helps if I post this here too):

Take note I removed some parts for my own privacy reasons. Thanks for your time.

What error do you get?

Nevermind I got it working by running with more worker threads.
Thanks for your reply though.
