Logstash Configuration of 5.0.1

Elastic Stack Logstash
1

After upgrading logstash to 5.0.1 , I am getting the following :

WARNING: Could not find logstash.yml which is typically located in $LS_HOME/config or /etc/logstash. You can specify the path using --path.settings. Continuing using the defaults
Could not find log4j2 configuration at path /usr/share/logstash/config/log4j2.properties.

The configuration in startup.options is:

# Override Java location
JAVACMD=/usr/bin/java

# Set a home directory
LS_HOME=/usr/share/logstash

The files do exist in /etc/logstash

drwxr-xr-x    3 root root  4096 Dec 13 15:44 .

So, what do I miss here? How should I fix it?

When do you get that?

I am getting it when the logstash is booting up on the standard output.

Then you can ignore it.

When starting with bin/logstash logstash is searching for the file in $LS_HOME/config by default. In your case, there aren't these files (because they are in the /etc/logstash directory).
If you really want this warning to not appear, the simplest way is to create a symlink
config -> /etc/logstash/
