I edited my logstash.yml to make some changes on the pipeline.batch.size to 1000, pipeline.batch.delay to 30 and enable xpack monitoring. After that I restart the Logstash service with the following command:

> systemctl restart logstash

to update the configuration but it's not updating as shown in the screenshot below.

May I know what should I do for this?
