Hi Team,

I am unable to start logstatsh 7.1.1, it got aborted and it does not create the log file. I am getting the below error message -

old=0 -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Djava.security.egd=file:/dev/urandom ; pa  
ss JVM parameters via LS\_JAVA\_OPTS

Kindly help.  
Regards,

That is a warning that should not prevent logstash starting. Can you show the complete log file?
