Starting the Logstash Service

On the Windows platform, after you install Logstash, you should manually start the Logstash service. Refer to the PeopleSoft Deployment Packages Installation for Search Components (PeopleSoft PeopleTools 8.60).

To start Logstash on Windows, perform the following steps:

1. Open a command prompt window, and change directory to <LOGSTASH_HOME>\bin.

   LOGSTASH_HOME refers to the path where you’ve installed Logstash. For example, if OSK DPK is deployed under c:\osk1, Logstash is installed under c:\osk1\pt\Logstash8.6.0. In this example, LOGSTASH_HOME should be set to c:\osk1\pt\Logstash8.6.0.

2. Run the following command:

   logstash.bat -f <LOGSTASH_HOME>\pt\config\LogstashPipeLine.CONF

On the Linux platform, after you install Logstash, the Logstash service is automatically started. If the Logstash service is not started, you can start the service by executing the following command:

logstash -f <LOGSTASH_HOME>/pt/config/LogstashPipeLine.CONF
