That message is not an error it just states since you probably started logstash with the `-f` option command `pipelines.yml` will be ignored. That is normal operation.

What is the actual issue / what is or is not actually working?

You data is not loading?  
Failing connection to the DB?

It's always better to show us the command you ran and more complete logs so that we can help.
