Facing issue while starting multiple instance of logstash

[sukeerthi_bj]

Hi,

I created a separate folder for new instance of logstash as mentioned in below link

[SOLVED] Multiple Instances for Logstash

There's a terrific way to do this. You should make a duplicate of the /etc/logstash directory somewhere, or at least copy log4j2.properties, logstash.yml, and startup.options to a new directory. You should edit the configuration in logstash.yml and startup.options so that path.data and path.logs are separate from the others, so as not to cause collisions. I use a subdirectory of /var/log/logstash. You need to define where path.config is, which is your path to logstash pipeline configuration…

but getting logstash status as failed

systemctl status logstash-suk.service
● logstash-suk.service - logstash-suk
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/logstash-suk.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled)
Active: failed (Result: start-limit) since Thu 2017-09-14 14:35:18 IST; 14min ago
Main PID: 11874 (code=exited, status=217/USER)
[root@bmvt logstash]# cd /etc/systemd/system/

And what's the contents of the unit file for this service?

Um, what? That's not a systemd unit file.

That's more like it, but everything's commented out so I don't see how it could possibly do something useful.
