I am installing logstash 6.3.0 in Ubuntu with the following commands

curl -L -O https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/logstash/logstash-6.3.0.deb sudo dpkg -i logstash-6.3.0.deb

Although the installation is completed, Still no logstash file will be created in /etc/init.d directory and therefore having issues in starting logstash

But when I install a lower version with the following URL and it creates the file successfully https://download.elastic.co/logstash/logstash/packages/debian/logstash_2.3.4-1_all.deb

What is the exact reason for that and are there any place to get an .deb file of 6.3 logstash ??

If the service for Logstash 6.3 wasn't created for some reason, you can recreate it. Try the following.

Edit the file /etc/logstash/startup.options and put the location of the java binary and the java installation, like the example below.

JAVACMD=/opt/java/jdk1.8.0_161/bin/java
JAVA_HOME=/opt/java/jdk1.8.0_161

Now go to /user/share/logstash/bin and run the system-install script.

sudo ./system-install

It should give you the message: Successfully created system startup script for Logstash
