How exactly i can make the logstash\_server to start the pipeline automatically with configurations. i think im using logstash 2.3.2 and the path in my server is /opt/logstash/server/etc/conf.d/test.conf normally im seeing the runner agent path set to conf.d but i dont see any grep result for the test.conf sample: ``` logstash 16597 517 99 23:49 ? 00:00:10 /bin/java -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:+ UseConcMarkSweepGC -Djava.awt.headless=true -XX:CMSInitiatingOccupancyFraction=7 5 -XX:+UseCMSInitiatingOccupancyOnly -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Djava.io.t mpdir=/opt/logstash/server/tmp/ -Xmx4693M -Xms1564M -Xss2048k -Djffi.boot.librar y.path=/opt/logstash/server/vendor/jruby/lib/jni -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:+UseConcMa rkSweepGC -Djava.awt.headless=true -XX:CMSInitiatingOccupancyFraction=75 -XX:+Us eCMSInitiatingOccupancyOnly -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -server -Djava.io.tm pdir=/opt/logstash/server/tmp/ -XX:HeapDumpPath=/opt/logstash/server/heapdump.hp rof -Xbootclasspath/a:/opt/logstash/server/vendor/jruby/lib/jruby.jar -classpath : -Djruby.home=/opt/logstash/server/vendor/jruby -Djruby.lib=/opt/logstash/serv **er/vendor/jruby/lib -Djruby.script=jruby -Djruby.shell=/bin/sh org.jruby.Main --** **1.9 /opt/logstash/server/lib/bootstrap/environment.rb logstash/runner.rb agent -** **f /opt/logstash/server/etc/conf.d** --pluginpath /opt/logstash/server/lib -l /opt/ logstash/server/log/logstash.log -w 1 ``` ---

You've apparently started Logstash with `-f /opt/logstash/server/etc/conf.d` so logstash will read all files in that directory. ---

I agree. I think its using the default code to initialize all the conf in conf.d folder. But I do not see any results. But when I run manually ,I can see why. I suspect the jdbc classpath not referenced in the automatic run and its working in manual run. Is that possible ? ---
