Hi, we've installed new version of logstash 6.0.1 on Centos. It was pure installation of operational system and elk too. But when we run logstash, it says this infinite loop:

```
[2017-12-11T11:13:08,944][INFO][logstash.modules.scaffold] Initializing module {:module_name=>"netflow", :directory=>"/usr/share/logstash/modules/netflow/configuration"}
[2017-12-11T11:13:53,267][INFO][logstash.modules.scaffold] Initializing module {:module_name=>"fb_apache", :directory=>"/usr/share/logstash/modules/fb_apache/configuration"}

```

In logstash.yml there is no settings just log path. We don't have any modules installed or x-pack.

Here is someone having the same issue but he solve it by downgrading. But we don't want to do that. Our previous version 5.4 was running without problem. [https://github.com/elastic/logstash/issues/8169](https://github.com/elastic/logstash/issues/8169)

Any idea what to do?

I'm having the exact same issue. It was happening in 6.0.0 and continues to happen after I upgraded to 6.0.1. I've added a comment with some logs to the GitHub issue.
