Error when running logstash

[shane_lee]

Hi,

I am trying to simply execute logstash via child process in node js.
It keeps exiting due to error with log4j

ERROR StatusLogger No log4j2 configuration file found. Using default configuration: logging only errors to the console.

Sample logic is:

const indexPostalAddress = () => {
  exec('logstash-5.4.0/bin/logstash --path.settings=logstash-5.4.0/config -f logstash-csv-local.conf --verbose --debug',
   (error, stdout, stderr) => {
     if (error) {
       winston.error(`exec error: ${error}`);
       winston.error(`error code: ${error.code}`);
       return;
     }
     winston.log(`stdout: ${stdout}`);
     winston.log(`stderr: ${stderr}`);
   });
};

Even when I specify the location of the config dir I get this error.
I assumed if you are using the logstash installation, it would pick up the log4j file inside config dir automatically?

Logstash 5.4.0

Thanks,
Shane.

All good. Got it working using spawn

const ls = spawn(${logstashBinary}, ['--log.level', 'info', '-f', ${logstashConf}]);
