I am using logstash1.4.1 and config the output to embedded elasticsearch like this :  
output {  
elasticsearch {  
embedded =\> true  
index =\> "logstash-%{type}"  
}  
}  
I also add -Des.path.conf=\<diretory path of elasticsearch.yml/logging.yml files\> as one of the parameters to start logstash.  
In the elasticsearch.yml , I have configure the path.data, path.conf ,path.logs . And the index data can be created in the \<path.data\> , but the logs can not be created in the \<path.logs\>.  
How can I make the embedded elasticsearch output its logs to my indicated file ?

Thanks !  
Pete
