Logstash starts but doesn't do anything

[LogstashRookie]

Hi , im new too ELK . Im trying to get some data in my logstash but my service doesn't seem to work properly. Im running on an ubuntu 14 vm. When i check my logstash status i get the following:

 logstash.service - logstash
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/logstash.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

After this nothing happens,no pipeline created , nothing. if i try my configuration with “/usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash -f /etc/logstash/conf.d/ciscotest.cfg --path.settings "/etc/logstash" everything works fine.
Here are my config files:

logstash.yml
path.data: /var/lib/logstash
path.config: "/etc/logstash/conf.d/ciscotest.cfg"
path.logs: /var/log/logstash

pipeline.yml
pipeline.id: main
path.config: "/etc/logstash/conf.d/ciscotest.cfg"

ciscotest.cfg
input{
udp{
port=> 5514
}
}

    output {
            file{
                    path => "/mnt/disk1/test-%{+YYYY-MM-dd}.txt"
                    codec => "json_lines"
           }

            elasticsearch{
                    hosts => ["localhost:9200"]

            }
    }

Any clues on what could be wrong? ,i've tried to check the log files but they always run behind 2-3 hours for some reason.

Are you using a supported version of java?

[LogstashRookie]

I thought it was 11 but im not sure, i can't check right now either but i will leave a message tomorow (basicly in about 13 hours)

[LogstashRookie]

So i checked on the versions and im using java opneJDK 11.0.3 and logstash is 7.1.1 so they should match

I also get a error in my logstash log :
