I have been following this tutorial to install ELK stack in a remote server which runs on Amazon Linux. https://www.aytech.ca/blog/setup-elk-stack-amazon-linux/
I was able to install Elasticsearch and then to start it as a service.Then I installed logstash. However when I try to start the logstash service using this command,

service logstash status

the console returns this error.

 logstash: unrecognized service

However, when I grep'd the logstash it gave this output. Means it is running,right?

Can someone provide a solution how to make this logstash run as a service?

    so the similar command service elasticsearch start worked just fine? Commented Jan 18, 2019 at 16:57
  • @JeffSchaller I added a screenshot of outputs to those two commands to the question. Commented Jan 21, 2019 at 8:50

    This guide might refer to Amazon Linux 1 and if you launched an instance recently you might have launched Amazon Linux 2, can you try running systemctl status logstash and see what is the output in that case. Commented Jan 21, 2019 at 9:40
  • @Yaron I tried running that and it gave me -bash: systemctl: command not found. Commented Jan 21, 2019 at 10:53

    is there anything logstash-related in /etc/init.d? Commented Jan 21, 2019 at 13:09

Eventually I had to relaunch the server with Amazon Linux 2 OS.Now I am able to run Logstash inside that,but I still don't know how to tackle the issue in an Amazon Linux 1 OS.
