[root@logstash logstash] # java -version
openjdk version "1.8.0_101"

https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/5.0/installing-logstash.html
the issue is after installing via RPM, I'm trying to do the command
[root@logstash logstash] # /usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash agent -f /etc/logstash/conf.d/logstash.conf --path.settings /etc/logstash/ --config.test_and_exit
However, that gives the error:
[root@logstash logstash] # /usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash agent -f /etc/logstash/conf.d/logstash.conf --path.settings /etc/logstash/ --config.test_and_exit
--- jar coordinate com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-annotations already loaded with version 2.7.1 - omit version 2.7.0
--- jar coordinate com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind already loaded with version 2.7.1 - omit version 2.7.1-1
ERROR: too many arguments
See: 'bin/logstash --help'
So I'm like, ok, lets try it again. This time without the --config.test_and_exit
[root@logstash logstash] # /usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash agent -f /etc/logstash/conf.d/logstash.conf --path.settings /etc/logstash/
--- jar coordinate com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-annotations already loaded with version 2.7.1 - omit version 2.7.0
--- jar coordinate com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind already loaded with version 2.7.1 - omit version 2.7.1-1
ERROR: too many arguments
See: 'bin/logstash --help'
Nope, that didn't work. I already know that if I try it without the --path.settings then it will error out, like this:
[root@logstash logstash] # /usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash agent -f /etc/logstash/conf.d/logstash.conf
--- jar coordinate com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-annotations already loaded with version 2.7.1 - omit version 2.7.0

Logstash has a new settings file which defines start up time settings. This file is typically located in $LS_HOME/config or /etc/logstash. If you installed Logstash through a package and are starting it manually please specify the location to this settings file by passing in "--path.settings=/path/.." in the command line options {:level=>:warn}
Failed to load settings file from "path.settings". Aborting... {"path.settings"=>"/usr/share/logstash/config", "exception"=>Errno::ENOENT, "message"=>"No such file or directory - /usr/share/logstash/config/logstash.yml", :level=>:fatal}
This is on Centos.

I had no issues with E or K 5.0 alpha4 install. Only L.
This is a VM, so I might just blow it away and try to reinstall again.
