> I am running Logstash as a service, but it doesn't collect the logs. But when I run the bynary (bin/logstash -f test.conf) I collect the logs. And in the two cases I am using the same .conf file. In other posts it is said I need to give Logstash permissions, but I've been unable to identify what files/folders have to be granted permission. Could someone point that? Thanks in advance!
