Is it possible for logstash to detect conf files in a subdirectory? For example it's configure right now to look in `/etc/logstash/conf.d` but my conf files are separated into sub directories e.g. `/etc/logstash/conf.d/foo` and `/etc/logstash/conf.d/bar`.

I doesn't do directory recursion, but you can specify multiple directories for it to look in.

So I have to manually set it if I add a new folder?
