Logstash command not found

Question

After installation I make config file in /etc/logstash/logstash.conf and try to run logstash command.

When I run following command

root@ip:~# logstash --version

always showing error: showing command not found.

Answer 1

In this case do following thing:

Search the location of logstash using following command

root@whereis:~# whereis logstash

output:

logstash: /etc/logstash /usr/share/logstash

then goto

root@whereis:~# cd /usr/share/logstash
root@ip:/usr/share/logstash# cd bin
root@ip:/usr/share/logstash/bin#

Run command from here like:

root@ip:/usr/share/logstash/bin# logstash --version

If you still not able to run and getting error command not found then the current directory isn't listed in your path. If you want to run a program in the current directory you can use like ./program_name:

root@ip:~# ./logstash --version
