Hi.

I would check firstly logstash-pipeline.conf file under config.(logstash-pipeline can be different in your case) If it exists or the path correct is. Usually it is under config.  
You can start it by going logstash level and giving this command:

```auto
bin/logstash -f /path-to-your-file/config/logstash-pipeline.conf

```

After you check PodarcisMuralis suggestion, check permissions. The "logstash" user must have rights to read .conf
