I would like to work with multi logstash but I failed after gone through the steps and instruction from the internet.

Firstly, I did not install Logstash somehow I unzip the Logstash with tar.gz format.  
So the question from me is it I have to install Logstash? Because it seems like logstash can work without installation with the -f option with \<file.conf\>

Secondly, is there any way simple instruction to run logstash with SSL and demo the communication? Its like get log\_msg from port 5044 and send to the Elasticsearch but with the SSL.

I am kind of cracking my head and thanks for pointing me a direction.  
BIG THANKS.
