Other than status = info in the very first line, I have otherwise not edited this file.
Please let me know if you need my logstash.yml too, but in short, the relevant parts are:
# Options for log.level:
# * fatal
# * error
# * warn
# * info (default)
# * debug
# * trace
log.level: info
#
# Options for log.format:
# * plain (default)
# * json
#
log.format: plain
# log.format.json.fix_duplicate_message_fields: false
#
path.logs: /var/log/logstash
The directory where it is supposed to be logging:
# ls -l /var/log/ | grep logstash
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 logstash logstash 24 Jun 10 14:03 logstash
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. I have read other posts, including the one which edits the systemd service file (yes, I'm running this as a service), but not pushing to /var/log/messages isn't the problem here - it's that nothing is going into /var/log/logstash.
I really appreciate your help!
