I'm using Elasticseach and logstash 7.10.1 on ubuntu 18.04  
Logstash service was working properly, few days ago.  
Suddenly it didn't work. I tried to restart logstash service.  
But unable to start the service.

What can I do to start logstash service in this situation?

Thank You!

Hello .

I think you could start with checking `systemctl status logstash` and see any errors .
