Hello, I followed the guide [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/6.2/installing-logstash.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/6.2/installing-logstash.html)  
I used "yum" because I have a CentOs 6.9. I configured and started logstash but nothing is coming. I checked out the logs and then I realized the file was full of this:

Any Ideas .. ?

Regards.

**I forgot to say, I installed logstash on the same OS but different server and it worked, I used the same procedure to do it twice, so I don't know what I may did wrong**

Hello again, I installed Logstash using curl, I dezipped the tar, launched logstash with the "test and exit"  
and I still have this:

Ok so:

For all users wanting to install Logstash, you can't install it if you have java 9 installed. You need java 8, even if the docs says _Java X or higher_
