Can't start agent and web

Description

I'm running logstash on a windows server, and using previous versions, had been able to run the agent and web command line strings, as well as use the embedded elasticsearch. I just installed 1.4.0, and when running logstash.bat agent -f config.conf web, problems arise. Logstash does not appear to start, although I can reach the kibana web interface, it tells me that elasticsearch is not available. Even with the --debug flag, I get no output on the command line whatsoever. If I remove web from the command line, logstash fires right up, along with the embedded elasticsearch.

I have tested with a very basic conf file (just stdin for input, and output elasticsearch embedded => true), and still no go.

well, the 1.4.1 changelog PR was submitted if thats any indication

If you can't wait for a "real soon now" duration you can go ahead and grab a nightly build at https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/build.elasticsearch.org/origin/master/nightly/JDK7/logstash-latest.tar.gz

Thank you Colin for your comment on this issue.

Hi,

Yes, it's a known issue in 1.4.0, a bug in the argument parsing has been introduced preventing agent to run when also specifying web. As a workaround, you can run both separately. Also note that we do not suggest running embedded elasticsearch other than for testing. For Kibana, it is extremely easy to setup behind any web server, only expose the Kibana directory and access index.html, see http://www.elasticsearch.org/overview/kibana/installation/.
