Hello Team, Currently the log shipper is started from the command prompt using the command java -jar logstash-1.2.2-flatjar.jar agent -f shipper.conf Hence if the user closes the window, the service is stopped. Is there anyway to install the log shipper as a service in windows Regards, Binuraj ---

That's an absolutely ancient version of Logstash. But yes, it should be possible to install is as a service. Windows's own SC command can help you, or a helper such as NSSM. ---
