Logstash 6 not working after fresh service install

I installed Logstash 6 on a CentOS 7 using the repo variant. After starting Logstash over systemd as service the logstash process consumes over 100% CPU and is not running correctly.

OS: CentOS 7
Java: openjdk 8

I also tested it with Ubuntu Xenial with the same behavior.

Have you checked the logs?
