I am unable to run Logstash as a service on Ubuntu 14.04.

Seems like installation and everything goes well... however, when I run the command to start logstash service, I got:

```
logstash start/running, process XXXX

```

But if I check the logs there are no entries and if I check logstash process with ps I got nothing
