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**
```

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6297 Dec 13 15:44 patterns

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

Sharon.

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/`
