need help

Having same issue.  Seems like it might be tied to init.d script?  chroot or ulimit stuff?  Can run ./bin/logstash --verbose just fine.  Definitely not an issue with connection with ES on localhost:9200, I can curl to it fine and seg faults even when output stanza does not reference ElasticSearch.

anything of interest in the elasticsearch logfile?

Nothing.  I tried a few installs on fresh centos 6 instances and finally managed to get it to work as expected.  Really no clue as to why.  Think the post install scripts perhaps are goofed up?  Yum seemed to think things went fine on each install but I ended up with no files in /etc/logstash/conf.d and folder permissions were not set correctly - go figure the time I got things working was when the install seemed to have not completed fully.  First attempt was an upgrade to an old logstash setup that brought me here.  Can saw that yum install, yum remove, yum install does not get you to where you were after first install.  Sorry not very constructive or helpful I know but I've had to move on.  I'll open a ticket at Elastic if I ever have anything useful to really contribute for whatever this issue was.
