Hi ,

the index is not creating while doing through below command

```auto
/usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash --path.settings=/etc/logstash/ --log.level=debug -f gesyslog.conf --path.data /usr/share/logstash/data1

```

the below error log message found in /var/log/logstash/logstash-plain.log

```auto

Hello,

Logs shows that logstash reads config file. Please attach contents of /etc/logstash/conf.d/gesyslog.conf. Which can help in debugging.
