Malkom thank you for the reply, it looks like some of the things I am trying to do have been misunderstood/described. I just expanded point 2. I dont need to convert from the pipeline to logstash but the opposite and as I am using a few DATE custom patterns loaded in a directory on Logstash (as you can see from the Logstash configuration I add another patterns dir , also the patterns are below the logstash config in a few lines down if scrolled) so to have a fully functional filter I am looking for a way to load those patterns on ES. This also should allow me to avoid the use of Logstash and just rely on Filebeat -\> ES with a pipeline. David thank you for pointing at those. I might try the SASS on AWS from Elastic too if my credits allow it. My blocker at the moment is described in this "[topic](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/logstash-runner-error-an-unexpected-error-occurred-error-socketerror-initialize-name-or-service-not-known/151134/3)" but i doubt moving to the ES services will make a difference --- _[View the full topic](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/adding-patterns-in-es-on-aws-pipeline-definition-through-api/151378)._
