I have some grok files in /etc/logstash/conf.d/.

/usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash -f /etc/logstash/conf.d/ --config.test\_and\_exit  
Could not find log4j2 configuration at path /usr/share/logstash/config/log4j2.properties. Using default config which logs errors to the console

But not listening port 5044  
I wish to input all fields in influxdb.

What is my wrong?  
Please help me.

Would you be able to post a little more of the error message? It looks like it's cut off
