Hi , When I'm using this command to upload data to ElasticSearch from Logstash , I'm using this command: bin/logstash -f logstash.conf\_test1 If I want to return to the prompt , I need to press CTRL+C. Can I run the data upload and return to the prompt after the upload is done without pressing CTRL+C ? BR, Chen ---

You have a few options: - Write a script that monitors the sincedb file and shuts down Logstash when the file has been processed according to sincedb. - Use the stdin input (but then you won't be able to resume if Logstash aborts). - Wait for the file input to get this feature. There's a GitHub issue for it. ---
