Hello everyone,

I just installed Logstash 7.6 on ubuntu 18.

My end goal is to add some json files to an elasticsearch instance.

Unfortunately, when I run "logstash -f cfile.conf", I get stuck at phrase : Stuck at Successfully started Logstasg API endpoint

I wanted to try the easiest example, so my cfile.conf is looking something like this :

> input {  
> stdin { }  
> }  
> output {  
> stdout {}  
> }

But still the same issue.

If I try to run like this: logstash - e 'input { stdin { } } output { stdout {} }', is working.

Has anyone any ideea about this issue?

Thank you!
