Logstash /usr/local/etc/logstash/conf.d/ folder does not exist after installation

After installing logstash via Homebrew I attempted to set a new .conf file under the following path:

/usr/local/etc/logstash/conf.d/

Strangely, the conf.d folder doesnt seem to exist.

Im using logstash version 6.7.0

To install all I did was use the homebrew command:

brew install logstash

Any reason why it wasnt created?

It does not create the conf.d directory, the conf.d directory is created by the packaged versions, .deb or .rpm, the homebrew formula for logstash uses the .tar.gz version where the config files are in the config directory.

Looking the code for the logstash formula you can see that in the post-install it just creates a symbolic link to the config directory.

def post_install
    ln_s etc/"logstash", libexec/"config"
  end

You will need to create the directory by yourself if you do not want to save your .conf files in the /usr/local/etc/logstash/.
