Logstash 7.10.x version does not start

Elastic Stack Logstash
1

I have downloaded the .tar.gz file and tried bringing up logstash through the logstash script.
I am unable to bring up any of the 7.10.2 versions of logstash with the below error. I see posts about the permissions of the directory where the logs are written. They seem to have the right permissions. But still my issue isnt solved. Any help would be appreciated.

You would need to provide more detail. What are the non-comment lines in logstash.yml? What command line are you using to start logstash?

Hi,
These are my non-comment lines in logstash.yml
pipeline.workers: 35
pipeline.batch.size: 5000
pipeline.batch.delay: 5000
queue.max_events: 900
queue.max_bytes: 200mb
path.logs: /Users/xxxxx/workspace/logstash-7.10.2/logs

I tried to bring up logstash like: sh bin/logstash

Since its a 3rd party SW that i am using, trying to build this from source.

I am able to bring up other versions of logstash, but just not the 7.10.2. Any help would be appreciated.
