Hi,
We have multiple configuration files in /etc/logstash/conf.d .How to find the line number as it is throwing following error at some line number?
Failed to execute action {:action=\>LogStash::PipelineAction::Create/pipeline\_id:main, :exception=\>"LogStash::ConfigurationError", :message=\>"Expected one of #, input, filter, output at line 2908, column 1
Regards,
Vivek

```
cat /etc/logstash/conf.d/* > /tmp/concatenated_config.txt
```
Then edit the result and go to line 2908.
