I am trying to execute this command: aymenstien@aymenstien-VPCEH2Q1E:/usr/share/logstash$ ./bin/logstash -f /home/aymenstien/Bureau/fb.conf

here is the config file:

input { file { path => "/home/aymenstien/Bureau/mydoc/*" start_position => beginning codec => json sincedb_path => "/home/aymenstien/Bureau/mydoc/postj1.sincedb" } } output { stdout { codec => rubydebug } elasticsearch { hosts => "http://localhost:9200" index => "fbpost" document_type => "post" timeout => 30 workers => 1 } }

and I am getting the result of execution below:

Can anyone help me?

Quite a few errors in the output above. Seems the important one is:

Path "/usr/share/logstash/data" must be a writable directory. It is not writable.

After setting the permissions of /usr/share/logstash/data your command line should work.
However, I would suggest to run Logstash as its proper installed service, with configuration files in /etc/logstash.
