Elastic Stack Logstash

Oh.. it looks pretty similar as of mine. Except version, am using 6.2.2. That should not be any issue.
No idea Darsan.

So sad, How do i run logstash in windows then any help @Suman_Reddy1; @Shiv_Gupta; @elastic; @camarar

@darsan55 and @Shiv_Gupta,

Are you windows administrators in your Windows installation?
Are there permission to execute anything?
Could you send me a print of this folder "C:\Users[YOUR_USER]\AppData\Local\Temp" ? (Organize this folder by date newer first)

Could you create a folder and copy one file on this path "C:\Users[YOUR_USER]\AppData\Local\Temp" ?

When you try to execute logstash, are you open windows prompt using "Run as administrator"?

@darsan55 and @Shiv_Gupta,

I believe this problem happens because you don't have suficient permission to create directories/files in the path alocated on system variable $HOME. This problem is related with Java.

Try to do theses steps:

  • Create this directory "\ELK\logstash" in this path "C:\Users[USER]\AppData\Local\Temp"

  • Change the point below on the file "jvm.options" on path "\logstash-6.2.2\config"
    # set the I/O temp directory
    #-Djava.io.tmpdir=$HOME
    -Djava.io.tmpdir=C:\Users[USER]\AppData\Local\Temp\ELK\logstash\

  • Try to start logstash again.

After these steps tell us if logstash running.
