I am testing my configuration by using :
./logstash -f /etc/logstash/conf.d/your_config_file.conf --config.test_and_exit
And getting below error :

I have tried a=giving permission to logstash user to full directory by :
/usr/share$ sudo chown -R logstash.logstash logstash
But still same error. Please help
chown will change ownership of the directories but will not change permissions. Logstash complains that the user used for starting logstash does not have write access to /usr/share/logstash
chmod will help change the permissions. Check this to understand more about the command.
