Running logstash through Cron to pull from salesforce

Elastic Stack Logstash
1

Hi,

My requirement is to pull the data from salesforce and output to elasticsearch. As the logstash donot have scheduler for Salesforce input plugin i am using the cron job to run the logstash for every 15 minutes. For first time the logstash is running fine but when the cron job is executed for second time i am getting below Error and cron job is not running.

[2019-01-17T14:50:12,706][FATAL][logstash.runner          ] Logstash could not be started because there is already another instance using the configured data directory.  If you wish to run multiple instances, you must change the "path.data" setting.
[2019-01-17T14:50:12,709][ERROR][org.logstash.Logstash    ] java.lang.IllegalStateException: org.jruby.exceptions.RaiseException: (SystemExit) exit

As far as I know, the only input that will stop logstash is the stdin input, which will cause logstash to exit when it hits EOF. You will need to kill logstash externally.
