Can't you just add a schedule with cron in Logstash input?

In Configuration file I have sql jdbc input plugin and output to elasticsearch.So I need to run in background for every 5 minutes.

Use the schedule option of the jdbc input to run the query every five minutes.

As for running Logstash in the background look into running it as a service. I believe NSSM can help out.
