Logstash 6.3.2 unable to start with error: Error accessing temp directory

Troubleshooting


Problem

Logstash 6.3.2 unable to start successfully. The error is:

[ERROR] [LogStash::Runner] Logstash - java.lang.IllegalStateException: Logstash stopped processing because of an error: (LoadError) Could not load FFI Provider: (NotImplementedError) FFI not available: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /tmp/jffi1122334455667788990.so (/tmp/jffi1122334455667788990.so: failed to map segment from shared object: Operation not permitted)

 .

.

.

Error accessing temp directory: /tmp

This often occurs because the temp directory has been mounted with NOEXEC or

the Logstash user has insufficient permissions on the directory. Possible workarounds include setting the -Djava.io.tmpdir property in the jvm.options file to an alternate directory or correcting the Logstash user's permissions.
