Can anyone help me with this error? my logstash service is not opening the requested pots in the config files such as port 514. I don't know if that is related.

What version, what does your config look like?

Would suggest that it cannot access the port.

I'm not sure if this is a fix or a workaround but I had to set the net\_bind\_service capabilities to the java binary.
setcap cap\_net\_bind\_service=+epi /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java
This fixed my issue and logstash is running fine and the ports I named in the config file are now listening.
