I am trying to run Logstash on my machine (mac osx high sierra), but am encountering an error when i run ./bin/logstash
I get the error when trying the "hello world", and without any config file still gives this error which leads me to believe there is something wrong with my installation
The error is:
[ERROR] 2018-07-03 16:29:45.436 [main] Logstash - java.lang.IllegalStateException: Logstash stopped processing because of an error: (LoadError) load error: jopenssl/load -- java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError: Implementing class
Ive tried redownloading logstash, reinstalling my jdk, which is:
(java -version
java version "1.8.0\_171"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0\_171-b11)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.171-b11, mixed mode))
my JAVA\_HOME should be correct in my bash profile
"export JAVA\_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java\_home -v 1.8)"
so i really have no idea whats causing the problem
was wondering if anybody has a solution?
