hi , i am new to ELK and I am setting up the pipelines for the data. i have a requirement where i have to read data from 2 different kafka topics and load them to 2 different elastic search tables respectively. I have created 2 logstash config files and a pipelines.yml file to run them . - pipeline.id: index1 path.config: "path1" - pipeline.id: index2 path.config: "path2" seems like they are running one after another in sequence and not in parallel, as they are independent of each other, is there a way i can run them in parallel ---
