Once you have verified the existence of Java on your system, we can move on!

=== Environment Variables
Logstash startup script uses environment variables so you can easily configure your
environment if you wish to do so.

When you start Logstash using the startup script, we launch Java with pre-configured JVM options.
Most times it is better to leave the options as is, but you have the option to pass in
extra JVM settings. For example, if you want to monitor Logstash using JMX, you can add these settings
using the environment variable `LS_JAVA_OPTS` and start Logstash

In some cases, you may want to completely override the default JVM options chosen by Logstash and use
your own settings. Setting `JAVA_OPTS` before you start Logstash will ignore the defaults in the scripts
