On CentOS, when I start Logstash with this command:

sudo systemctl start logstash

It produces this line in /var/log/logstash/logstash-plain.log:

[2017-08-15T13:52:14,119][INFO][logstash.agent] Successfully started Logstash API endpoint {:port=\>9600}

I can't figure out what is wrong based on this single line in log.

When I was using Logstash on Windows, during start it produces ten to fifteen lines (warn and info) in command prompt. What can I do to get more lines in logstash log file?
