I'm using elasticsearch 6.6.0 and same version of logstash to import a csv file. I wrote a config file for logstash as it should be. It shows absolutely fine logs. Ending logs are as follows: **[2019-02-12T19:52:40,089][INFO][logstash.pipeline] Pipeline started successfully {:pipeline\_id=\>"main", :thread=\>"#\"}** **[2019-02-12T19:52:40,172][INFO][logstash.agent] Pipelines running {:count=\>1, :running\_pipelines=\>[:main], :non\_running\_pipelines=\>[]}** **[2019-02-12T19:52:40,197][INFO][filewatch.observingtail] START, creating Discoverer, Watch with file and sincedb collections** **[2019-02-12T19:52:40,610][INFO][logstash.agent] Successfully started Logstash API endpoint {:port=\>9600}** After these logs, it just doesn't do anything and doesn't even print a single log. I need quick help. I've already wasted my 2 days sorting this issue out. ---

What does the configuration look like? If you are just using file inputs then running with --log.level trace will show you what the filewatchers are doing. ---

I ran logstash with --debug and is show ending logs as follows: **[2019-02-12T22:44:15,674][INFO][logstash.pipeline] Pipeline started successfully {:pipeline\_id=\>"main", :thread=\>"#\"}** **[2019-02-12T22:44:15,754][INFO][logstash.agent] Pipelines running {:count=\>1, :running\_pipelines=\>[:main], :non\_running\_pipelines=\>[]}** **[2019-02-12T22:44:15,767][INFO][filewatch.observingtail] START, creating Discoverer, Watch with file and sincedb collections** **[2019-02-12T22:44:15,791][DEBUG][logstash.agent] Starting puma** **[2019-02-12T22:44:15,808][DEBUG][logstash.agent] Trying to start WebServer {:port=\>9600}** **[2019-02-12T22:44:15,874][DEBUG][logstash.api.service] [api-service] start** **[2019-02-12T22:44:16,128][INFO][logstash.agent] Successfully started Logstash API endpoint {:port=\>9600}** **[2019-02-12T22:44:17,102][DEBUG][logstash.instrument.periodicpoller.cgroup] One or more required cgroup files or directories not found: /proc/self/cgroup, /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuacct, /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu** **[2019-02-12T22:44:17,470][DEBUG][logstash.instrument.periodicpoller.jvm] collector name {:name=\>"ParNew"}** **[2019-02-12T22:44:17,473][DEBUG][logstash.instrument.periodicpoller.jvm] collector name {:name=\>"ConcurrentMarkSweep"}** **[2019-02-12T22:44:20,691][DEBUG][logstash.pipeline] Pushing flush onto pipeline {:pipeline\_id=\>"main", :thread=\>"#\"}** **[2019-02-12T22:44:22,106][DEBUG][logstash.instrument.periodicpoller.cgroup] One or more required cgroup files or directories not found: /proc/self/cgroup, /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuacct, /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu** **[2019-02-12T22:44:22,478][DEBUG][logstash.instrument.periodicpoller.jvm] collector name {:name=\>"ParNew"}** **[2019-02-12T22:44:22,478][DEBUG][logstash.instrument.periodicpoller.jvm] collector name {:name=\>"ConcurrentMarkSweep"}** **[2019-02-12T22:44:25,692][DEBUG][logstash.pipeline] Pushing flush onto pipeline {:pipeline\_id=\>"main", :thread=\>"#\"}** **[2019-02-12T22:44:27,108][DEBUG][logstash.instrument.periodicpoller.cgroup] One or more required cgroup files or directories not found: /proc/self/cgroup, /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuacct, /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu** and it just goes on repeating this.

As I said, use --log.level trace, not --log.level debug. You can ignore the cgroup messages. ---

yes I figured it out searching against the logs that were printed using --log. Thanks for your help. ---
