[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/installing-logstash.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/installing-logstash.html)

[root@ip-\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*]# service logstash status  
logstash: unrecognized service

I was doing these setps to configure logstash  
rpm --import [https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch](https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch)  
Add the following in your /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory in a file with a .repo suffix, for example logstash.repo

[logstash-5.x]  
name=Elastic repository for 5.x packages  
baseurl=https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/5.x/yum  
gpgcheck=1  
gpgkey=https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch  
enabled=1  
autorefresh=1  
type=rpm-md  
And your repository is ready for use. You can install it with:

sudo yum install logstash
