Java 15 is not supported. You can edit the jvm.options file and try it anyway, or unset JAVA_HOME to use the bundled JDK.

can you guide me how to do that steps.. I am zero in java or its options..

I added exception seeing github but now getting below:

As I said, Java 15 is not supported, so I am not going to address how it fails. Unset JAVA_HOME before running logstash.

6

If i unset java_home will it not affect elasticsearch and kibana which are already running well?

7

Elasticsearch supports Java 15 so there is no need to unset JAVA_HOME for that. Just unset it for logstash.

Thank you.. Java issue fixed but some new issue now:

i am using this inside conf file for logstash:

input { stdin { } }
output {
elasticsearch { hosts => ["localhost:9200"] }
stdout { codec => rubydebug }
}

10

You are running logstash in C:\elastic_stack\logstash-7.11.1-windows-x86_64\logstash-7.11.1\bin, and telling it to use the configuration file logstash-simple.conf, so it looks for the file in that directory, and it does not exist. Use the full path to the configuration file for the -f option.

thank you very much. It was actually spelling mistake. Thank you very much. removing java path, reboot fixed the issue. I used config from here Configuring Logstash | Logstash Reference [7.11] | Elastic

Also I new, pls suggest what can i do next to learn as a cyber security analyst. thanks once again.
