I get the following error message:
Error: Failed to open /opt/logs/logstash/logstash.log for writing: Permission denied - /opt/logs/logstash/logstash.log
What user does Logstash run as and what's the output of the following command?
ls -l /opt/logs/logstash/logstash.log /opt/logs/logstash
Is this the correct forum or should I file a bug-report?
This is a good place for questions. Let's wait with the bug report until we know there actually is a bug. Bug reports are read by fewer people so you have a better chance of getting help here.
Again, what user owns and what are the permissions of /opt/logs/logstash and /opt/logs/logstash/logstash.log?
Same problem here.
ubuntu@ip-10-0-0-113:/var/log/logstash$ cat logstash.stdout
Error: Failed to open /var/log/logstash/logstash.log for writing: No such file or directory - /var/log/logstash/logstash.log
This is often a permissions issue, or the wrong
path was specified?
You may be interested in the '--configtest' flag which you can
use to validate logstash's configuration before you choose
to restart a running system.
