Can you start it manually, eg `bin/logstash -f path/to/conf`?

Hi guys, I have the same issue 😣 logstash service is always in pause state. If I run it manually I get:

logstash.bat agent -f logstash.conf  
io/console not supported; tty will not be manipulated  
Settings: Default filter workers: 1  
Logstash startup completed

Please start your own thread, this one is a little old.

Also when you do that please provide more information, like what version you run, what OS, etc.
