Just configured a new logstash server and when I went to restart logstash I found out that my logstash.service wasn't available.

I tried to re-install logstash and get the following error:

chmod: cannot access '/etc/default/logstash': No such file or directory  
dpkg: error processing package logstash (--configure):  
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1  
Errors were encountered while processing:  
logstash  
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I used the same way of installing logstash a few days ago and had no errors.

Has a new package of logstash been released and is causing problems?

Jason

Hi, this error was due to the logstash-filter-mutate plugin and i've managed to fix it, thank you 🙂
