my config file is stored in 

/etc/logstash/

and I ran the command 

$ /etc/logstash -f /etc/logstash/logstash.conf

as root.

However, they told me that permission denied when I tried to do that. Is there any way to solve this?

    Are you sure you ran it as root? The $ at the beginning of the line makes it seem like you didn't.

    Please run command: "type logstash"

    /etc/logstash is a directory, not a program. You are trying to run the directory. You need to use the path to the actual program first in your command.

The way to solve this is to use the correct path to the logstash executable. According to your description /etc/logstash is a directory, not an executable file, so you cannot use that as a command.
