Hello. I installed logstash on archlinux and I'm having trouble with running it using systemd. I have kibana and elasticsearch up and running just fine as a service, however.

The bug is reported here as well: [https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/56039](https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/56039)

A fix is reported there but it doesn't work for me. Any help would be much appreciated
