I want to send relative configuration path from CLI to filebeat

d:\uat\beats\filebeat550\config\myappserver folder have filebeat.yml

Currently I am using

filebeat -path.config=d:\uat\beats\filebeat550\config\myappserver

instead of using the above command, i tried to use the below alternatives but i didnt worked for me.

filebeat -path.config=config\myappserver
or
filebeat -path.config=${path.home}\config\myappserver

Pls help.
