I have this error when I try to run multi pipeline config "ERROR: Failed to read pipelines yaml file. Location: C:/elk/logstash/config/pipelines.yml" And this is the content of my pipelines.yml - pipeline.id: sharepoint pipeline.workers: 1 pipeline.batch.size: 1 path.config: "C:\elk\logstash\bin\config\_sharepoint.json" - pipeline.id: beats pipeline.workers: 1 pipeline.batch.size: 1 path.config: "C:\elk\logstash\bin\config.json" ---

Are there any other lines indicating permissions issues? I am not an expert on Windows filesystem permissions, but generally when a file can't be read, checking permissions is a good place to start. How are you launching Logstash? Is it getting launched as its own service user (and if so, does _that_ user have permission to read the file)? Are there any other log lines that could be relevant? ---

When I launch logstash as a service, it return "Skipping following files ... since not match specified glob pattern" including my first file config that showed in pipeline.yml with pipeline.id: sharepoint. It means the first one config file is not read but the second one is good. Therefore, I try to run logstash by command line as admin then Error is appeared ---

Just .\logstash And when I skipped the multi pipeline, I used multi config with "-f". .\logstash -f "C:\elk\logstash\config" Error as well ---

Multipipeline doesn't like drive letters in the path, not sure what that means for boxes with multiple drives but try the below, it should work and yes, use forward slashes. `path.config: "/elk/logstash/bin/config_sharepoint.json"` ---

Indeed it does, although a search of issues on GitHub shows an [existing ticket open](https://github.com/elastic/logstash/issues/6311) from about a year and a half ago regarding drive letters being capitalized which may still be the case. OP, would you mind trying without a capitalized drive letter, see if it works then? ---

OP, would you mind trying without a capitalized drive letter, see if it works then? Looks like this is a separate issue. I was just going through some testing on something else and tried this out, still does not like it with a drive letter, even when it's not capitalized. I've submitted a ticket to GitHub, detailing the findings. ---
