Hello community,

I am trying to use the centralize pipeline management feature , I followed the document `https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/6.0/logstash-centralized-pipeline-management.html`  
I have a x-pack licence aswell. but after creating the pipeline using kibana UI -\> logstash -\>pipeline when I start the logstash I am getting this

`Pipeline terminated {"pipeline.id"=>".monitoring-logstash"} logstash_test exited with code 0`

```
` logstash.config.source.local.configpathloader] No config files found in path {:path=>"/usr/share/logstash/pipeline/*"}`

```

I know this error is coming because of no pipeline configuration files in the logstash pipeline directory but I guess that is not the case if I am using centralized pipeline management

and

if I use the same pipeline configuration in logstash/pipeline directory it is working fine. logstash not giving any errors. what might be the cause?

here is my **elasticsearch.yml file**

When you are using centralized configuration management, can you try commenting out the `path.config` line in your `logstash.yml` file?
