Hello. I can run logstash.bat on Windows normally with path to c drive. I want to change path to d drive, but it won't work. Turn the debug on, and report like:  
`[2019-10-05T14:49:18,537][DEBUG][logstash.instrument.periodicpoller.cgroup] One or more required cgroup files or directories not found: /proc/self/cgroup, /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuacct, /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu [2019-10-05T14:49:18,872][DEBUG][logstash.instrument.periodicpoller.jvm] collector name {:name=>"ParNew"} [2019-10-05T14:49:18,876][DEBUG][logstash.instrument.periodicpoller.jvm] collector name {:name=>"ConcurrentMarkSweep"} [2019-10-05T14:49:22,096][DEBUG][logstash.pipeline] Pushing flush onto pipeline {:pipeline_id=>"main", :thread=>"#<Thread:0xb7981f3 sleep>"}`

Below is my .conf code:

`input { file { path => ["c:/DATA/ToES/IDEH*.*"] start_position => "beginning" tags => "IDEH" sincedb_path => "NUL" } } output { stdout {} }`

I try to change the path like `path => ["d:/DATA/ToES/IDEH*.*"]`, `path => ["/d:/DATA/ToES/IDEH*.*"]` or `path => ["d:\DATA/ToES/IDEH*.*"]` which won't work. How can I do? Thanks for help.
