I want to load/run my logstash config file automatically after system restarts everytime (after updates). How to do that? Thanks in advance. ---

Hello, I am not expert on that, but I think if you are in a linux machine you just need to run: `sudo systemctl enable logstash` and it will run automatically after a reboot. ---

Thanks for your response, but I'm using windows. How we can achieve on the windows systems? ---

In windows, I think you can run this command: `sc config logstash start= auto` ---

HI Rahul, Take a look at this page: > **[ELK STACK ON WINDOWS SERVER — PART 2 — INSTALLATION](https://medium.com/@samil.mehdiyev/elk-stack-on-windows-server-part-2-installation-d2a7200b65a6)** > > In Part 1, we spoke about ELK Stack commonly. In this post, we will go through the ELK Stack installation process on Windows Server 2012 R2… I used this one when I installed ELK on my windows for the first time. You will need to use a program called NSSM to make Logstash a service in Windows. Then you can configure the service to start when the machine start. I hope this page could you.
