Hi,

I'm trying to set Centralized pipeline management but it is still not working.

I'm using Elastic Cloud trial version and Logstash running on a local vm

my logstash.yml looks like:

> xpack.management.elasticsearch.url: "[https://xxx.eu-central-1.aws.cloud.es.io](https://xxx.eu-central-1.aws.cloud.es.io):xxx/"  
> xpack.management.enabled: true  
> xpack.management.elasticsearch.username: elastic  
> xpack.management.elasticsearch.password: password  
> xpack.management.logstash.poll\_interval: 5s  
> xpack.management.pipeline.id: ["apache", "cloudwatch\_logs"]  
> cloud.auth: "elastic:xxxx"  
> cloud.id: "yyyy=="  
> path.data: /var/lib/logstash  
> path.logs: /var/log/logstash

I followed instructions from [Centralized Pipeline Management | Logstash Reference [6.7] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/6.x/logstash-centralized-pipeline-management.html#logstash-centralized-pipeline-management) and [Configuring Centralized Pipeline Management | Logstash Reference [6.7] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/6.x/configuring-centralized-pipelines.html)

But Logstash isn't shipping anything to Elastic if I set manually a conf file and pipeline on logstash vm (whereas these were working fine on hosted trial) and If I create new pipeline in from Kibana UI...nothing else happen than having my pipeline saved under logstash pipeline management

Any tip? Did I miss some steps?

Can you paste the log output that is generated by Logstash after you start it up? I want to see if there are any errors in there that might give us any clues about what's going on.
