Hello. > WARNING: Could not find logstash.yml which is typically located in $LS\_HOME/config or /etc/logstash. You can specify the path using --path.settings. Continuing using the defaults /log4j2.properties. Using default config which logs errors to the console My logstash.yml, log4j2.properties ... files are in both /etc/logstash and /usr/share/logstash/config . But why is there a WARNING?? I execute logstash by ubuntu service control. Like this : `initctl start logstash.` Any help thx. ---

Hi @seungtae what version of logstash is this? I imagine this is not causing the service to not run but you are interesting in knowing why you see this WARN logging? ---
