I am running rhel 7.8 / logstash 7.6.2 (as root)  
logstash is unable to produce any output (tested elastic, file, and stdout)

executing:  
/usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash -f /etc/logstash/testdata/test\_file.conf --log.level=debug  
where test\_file.conf :

```auto
input 
 {
       file
	{
		path => "/etc/logstash/testdata/test_file2.txt"
		start_position =>"beginning"
		sincedb_path => "/etc/logstash/testdata/test_file_sincedb"
		codec => "json_lines"
	}
}  
output
{
    stdout {}

   #stdout { codec => rubydebug }
   # elasticsearch { ... }

  file {
	   path => "/etc/logstash/testdata/test_file_out.txt"
	   codec => "json_lines"
	}

}

```

The test\_file2.txt only contains:  
{"val1":"data1"}  
{"val1":"data2"}  
{"val2":"data3"}  
{"val2":"data4"}

sincedb is removed every time before it runs.

debug shows:

````auto

````

everything else looks 'normal"
