When I check logstash I see logstash as the process name. However if it is showing up as java in your flavour of linux then that's still not wrong. Java is the core process which runs logstash. If you want to monitor it then look at the process parameters and look for logstash.

```auto
root@wtlsuv403:~# ps -ef | grep logstash
logstash 27013 1 11 Apr09 ? 28-18:05:46 /usr/bin/java -Xms2g -Xmx2g 

```
