Hi @Nada_I,

First thing is we have logstash as a shipper we are installed logstash not a config file.

We can not installed config file we can write and save that config file.

And its extension is .config

Thanks & Regards,  
Krunal.

First of all, I'm going to assume you're talking about the pipeline configuration files (containing inputs, outputs, and filters) and not the settings file (logstash.yml).

> i want to know how can i install the config file of the logstash

I don't understand this question. It's a plain text file.

> and what is the extension of it

Under some circumstances recent Logstash versions expects the extension to be .conf so stick to that and you'll be fine.
