Everything works when I run Logstash from the command line but as a service, the server does not seem to be able to start by itself. Here's the log from /var/log/logstash/logstash-plain.log (all logs were deleted and the host was restarted):
[INFO ][logstash.modules.scaffold] Initializing module {:module_name=>"netflow", :directory=>"/usr/share/logstash/modules/netflow/configuration"}
[INFO ][logstash.modules.scaffold] Initializing module {:module_name=>"fb_apache", :directory=>"/usr/share/logstash/modules/fb_apache/configuration"}
[WARN ][logstash.config.source.multilocal] Ignoring the 'pipelines.yml' file because modules or command line options are specified
[INFO ][logstash.runner ] Starting Logstash {"logstash.version"=>"6.1.2"}
[INFO ][logstash.agent ] Successfully started Logstash API endpoint {:port=>9600}
A telnet to localhost:5044 returns:
$ telnet localhost 5044
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Trying ::1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Cannot assign requested address
Why is Logstash not using my pipeline config in /etc/logstash/conf.d?
How do I get the service to start the Logstash server that runs on port 5044?
What's in /etc/logstash/logstash.yml (format the file' contents as preformatted text when you post it)? What does Logstash's command line look like (check with ps aux | grep logstash)?

# Define modules here. Modules definitions must be defined as an array.
# The simple way to see this is to prepend each `name` with a `-`, and keep
# all associated variables under the `name` they are associated with, and
# above the next, like this:
#
# modules:
# - name: MODULE_NAME
# var.PLUGINTYPE1.PLUGINNAME1.KEY1: VALUE
# var.PLUGINTYPE1.PLUGINNAME1.KEY2: VALUE
# var.PLUGINTYPE2.PLUGINNAME1.KEY1: VALUE

# Module variable names must be in the format of
#
# var.PLUGIN_TYPE.PLUGIN_NAME.KEY

# Define Elastic Cloud settings here.
# Format of cloud.id is a base64 value e.g. dXMtZWFzdC0xLmF3cy5mb3VuZC5pbyRub3RhcmVhbCRpZGVudGlmaWVy

# This will overwrite 'var.elasticsearch.hosts' and 'var.kibana.host'

Okay, so it looks like it should be loading your configuration files. What's in those files (cat /etc/logstash/conf.d/*.conf)? If you increase the logging verbosity to debug Logstash will log the exact configuration it loads.
