pipelines.yml in /etc/logstash directory

-pipeline.id: access_logs
path.config: "/etc/logstash/pipelines/access.conf"
-pipeline.id: error_logs
path.config: "/etc/logstash/pipelines/errors.conf"

You have specified --path.config on the command line, so it will ignore pipelines.yml. Instead it loads every file it can find in the directory you specified, which include jvm.options -- that is what results in that error message.

3

what's solution here ?

same error when i do this

./logstash --path.settings /etc/logstash/ --path.config /etc/logstash/pipelines.yml

4

Remove --path.config from the command line.

5

then i face this issue

ERROR: Failed to read pipelines yaml file. Location: /etc/logstash/pipelines.yml

Do you think there is something wrong with the pipelines.yml content ?

6

ah the issue is with pipelines.yml content ther should be space after '-'
