can't see any file named 'Logstash.service' in path '/etc/systemd/system' can some one check and see if installation creates 'Logstash.service' file for you.
if yes, can some one share its configuration?

Resolved 🙂 \>\>\>the issue was with JAVA...
JAVA\_HOME was pointing to user/JDK-1.8.0 because java was configured manually through .TAR file.
& While installation logstash look for java in usr/bin/java.
reinstalled java through yum and then logstash solved the problem.
