Logstash failed to stop the service

Elastic Stack Logstash

I'm experiencing the logstash service failed to start after I issue

systemctl restart logstash

Output:

systemctl status logstash
● logstash.service - LSB: Starts Logstash as a daemon.
** Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/logstash)**

even though the service says active logstash port is not open and my client PC can't communicate with the logstash server.

what could be the issue??

I found the issue.

It is because I have wrongly configured the network.host attribute in elasticsearch.yml file.
after matched it with the logstash.conf hosts: attribute evething seems to work fine..:grin:
