For some reason you do not have the twitter input installed. The [documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/working-with-plugins.html) shows you how to install plugins. ---

Logstash is like any other process. If you own the process then you can kill it using ``` kill 2618 ``` If someone else owns the process and you have the privilege then you can ``` sudo kill 2618 ``` ---

> [@pathri](#): > > still process started again Is logstash running as a service? That could explain it getting restarted. ---
