Hi,

How can I make LogStash ignore that cron and just run it once and quit?

I want to reuse a pipeline for testing purpose. The issue is this pipeline has a CRON expression to execute every hour.

There's no standard way of ignoring parts of the configuration. If you show us the configuration we might be able to suggest a workaround.
