I have configured a logstash file in to fetch data from sql and dump it to elasticsearch. I have scheduled this process for every 5 minutes. Now I want to stop this process. Please help how can I stop that process and close the pipeline ?

If you're using the the jdbc input, just set the schedule in the plugin itself.

If you're not using the jdbc input, please elaborate on what you _are_ doing. Which input plugin and how are you starting Logstash?
