Solution

Kafka and Logstash will typically be running on your processing Linux server(s).


  1. Open a shell prompt on the appropriate server(s)
  2. Check the kafka and logstash services are running, using the commands:
    systemctl status kafka
    systemctl status logstash

  3. If any services are not running, start them (as the root user):
    systemctl start kafka
    systemctl start logstash
