My Log stash service is running as a Windows service. No issue in the running status. But the Logs are not getting generated.

I have Pipeline configured for this logstash service.

I need a help to enable the Logs for the investigation.

Hi,

You have a stanza concerning logs in the logstash.yml config file (located in the config folder):

```auto
# ------------ Debugging Settings --------------
#
# Options for log.level:
# * fatal
# * error
# * warn
# * info (default)
# * debug
# * trace
#
# log.level: info
# path.logs:

```
