Hi, when I use pipeline to pipeline comunication in pipelines.yml the other pipelines in the file stop working.
if I comment those lines the other pipelines start to work.
this is my pipelines.yml, the first pipeline sends data to following four. the other are JDBC pipelines.
```auto
- pipeline.id: fork-filebeat
path.config: "/etc/logstash/conf.d/filebeat/fork-logs.conf"
- pipeline.id: diskfs-filebeat
path.config: "/etc/logstash/conf.d/filebeat/discos-fs.conf"
- pipeline.id: sap-filebeat
path.config: "/etc/logstash/conf.d/filebeat/sap.conf"
- pipeline.id: diskfs-filebeat-quebec
path.config: "/etc/logstash/conf.d/filebeat/discos-fs-quebec.conf"
- pipeline.id: diskfs-filebeat-alpha
path.config: "/etc/logstash/conf.d/filebeat/discos-fs-alpha.conf"
- pipeline.id: component
path.config: "/etc/logstash/conf.d/component.conf"
- pipeline.id: interface
path.config: "/etc/logstash/conf.d/interface.conf"
- pipeline.id: eventos
path.config: "/etc/logstash/conf.d/logstash-jdbc-eventos.conf"
- pipeline.id: cpu
path.config: "/etc/logstash/conf.d/logstash-jdbc-cpu.conf"
- pipeline.id: memory
path.config: "/etc/logstash/conf.d/logstash-jdbc-memory.conf"
- pipeline.id: ping
path.config: "/etc/logstash/conf.d/logstash-jdbc-ping.conf"
```
This is the fork-filebeat pipeline
```auto
input {
beats {
port => 5044
include_codec_tag => false
}
}
output {
if [tags][0] == "disktag"{
pipeline { send_to => "fs-pipe" }
}
if [tags][0] == "saptag"{
pipeline { send_to => "sap-pipe" }
}
if [tags][0] == "disktag-quebec"{
pipeline { send_to => "fs-pipe-quebec" }
}
if [tags][0] == "disktag-alpha"{
pipeline { send_to => "fs-pipe-alpha" }
}
}
```
What is wrong with my conf?

What are the configs for those pipelines?
If you have a pipeline with this output:
```auto
pipeline { send_to => "fs-pipe" }
```
You will need another pipeline with this output:
```auto
pipeline { address => "fs-pipe" }
```
So, share the files of those pipelines.
Also, does your documents have the field `tags`? Can you share an example of one source document? Use a `stdout` output to capture that message.

Hi @leandrojmp, yes I have those inputs:
```auto
input { pipeline { address => "fs-pipe" } }
```
and the tags also work to direct the data to an specific pipeline and index
the problem is that when I put the those (pipeline to pipeline) configurations in pipelines.yml the other ones (JDBC pipelines) stop working.

The logstash logs will list the pipelines that are running and the pipelines that are not running after it loads the configuration. What does that message say?

Hi, @Badger
```auto
:non_running_pipelines=>[]}
```
the strange thing is that if I run logstash with the command
```auto
/usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash --path.settings /etc/logstash
```
all pipelines in pipelines.yml work....any ideas why they dont work when running logstash as service?

Maybe an issue with the user that the service runs as....

Mmmm maybe,
if I run the service as root logstash will run as root or logstash?
if I run the command `/usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash --path.settings /etc/logstash` it will run as root right?
the last\_run files for JDBC input has onwnership logstash:logstash and are udpated when I run the command `/usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash --path.settings /etc/logstash` as root.
