I am trying to set the path for different config as below,  
pipeline.yml:  
- pipeline.id: main  
path.config: "/etc/logstash/conf.d/\*.conf"  
- pipeline.id: dhcp-test  
path.config: "/home/elk2/dhcp\_log.conf"  
- pipeline.id: portfolio-test  
path.config: "/home/elk/logstash.conf"  
but the log told me  
[2019-07-22T10:54:21,177][INFO][logstash.config.source.local.configpathloader] No config files found in path {:path=\>"/home/elk2/dhcp\_log.conf"}  
[2019-07-22T10:54:21,182][INFO][logstash.config.source.local.configpathloader] No config files found in path {:path=\>"/home/elk/logstash.conf"}

Either that file does not exist or logstash does not have permission to read it.
