Hi, I'm using the ELK stack to parse our log files. When I run it in the foreground it works, but when I run it as a service I don't see any information being displayed in Kibana. I use: systemctl start Logstash When I check the status this is displayed: [root@web07 system]# systemctl status logstash ● logstash.service - logstash Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/logstash.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: active (running) since Fri 2019-12-06 10:47:17 CET; 41s ago Main PID: 1635596 (java) Memory: 840.8M CGroup: /system.slice/logstash.service └─1635596 /bin/java -Xms1g -Xmx1g -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:CMSInitiatingOccupancyFraction=75 -XX:+UseCMSInitiatingOccupancyOnly -Djava.awt.headless=true -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -Djruby.compile.invokedynamic=true -Djruby.j...
