I am running a multiple pipelined logstash and wish to kill a single pipeline if it throws error and restart after fixing it. How do I do that ?

If you want a pipeline to restart after you change its configuration then add '--config.reload.automatic' to the command line.

Yup. It worked. I had put this in logstash.yml and commented out a pipeline config in pipelines.yml which stopped a pipeline. But uncommenting that did not restart the pipeline. I don't understand why and I would be happy to get a solution to restart after uncommenting the pipeline code in pipelines.yml
