Hi @magnusbaeck In RHEL environment we dont have pipelines.yml file to make changes to create multiple pipelines. so i did configuration in Logstash.yml file as follows: #------------ Pipeline Settings -------------- - pipeline.id: monerrorlog-pipeline path.config: "/etc/logstash/conf.d/mon-errorlog.conf" pipeline.workers: 1 - pipeline.id: monserverlog-pipeline path.config: "/etc/logstash/conf.d/mon-serverlogs.conf" pipeline.workers: 1 - pipeline.id: sl1a-pipeline path.config: "/etc/logstash/conf.d/sl1a-serverlogs.conf" pipeline.workers: 1 - pipeline.id: sl2a-pipeline path.config: "/etc/logstash/conf.d/sl2a-serverlogs.conf" pipeline.workers: 1 - pipeline.id: sl2b-pipeline path.config: "/etc/logstash/conf.d/sl2b-serverlogs.conf" pipeline.workers: 1 - pipeline.id: sl2c-pipeline path.config: "/etc/logstash/conf.d/sl2c-serverlogs.conf" pipeline.workers: 1 - pipeline.id: sl3a-pipeline path.config: "/etc/logstash/conf.d/sl3a-serverlogs.conf" pipeline.workers: 1 - pipeline.id: sl3b-pipeline path.config: "/etc/logstash/conf.d/sl3b-serverlogs.conf" pipeline.workers: 1 - pipeline.id: sl3c-pipeline path.config: "/etc/logstash/conf.d/sl3c-serverlogs.conf" pipeline.workers: 1 - pipeline.id: sl3d-pipeline path.config: "/etc/logstash/conf.d/sl3d-serverlogs.conf" pipeline.workers: 1 #------------ Pipeline Configuration Settings -------------- #Where to fetch the pipeline configuration for the main pipeline # #path.config: /etc/logstash/conf.d/\*.conf # #Pipeline configuration string for the main pipeline # #config.string: # #At startup, test if the configuration is valid and exit (dry run) # #config.test\_and\_exit: false # #Periodically check if the configuration has changed and reload the pipeline #This can also be triggered manually through the SIGHUP signal # #config.reload.automatic: false # #How often to check if the pipeline configuration has changed (in seconds) # #config.reload.interval: 3s # #Show fully compiled configuration as debug log message #NOTE: --log.level must be 'debug' # #config.debug: false # #When enabled, process escaped characters such as \n and " in strings in the #pipeline configuration files. # #config.support\_escapes: false ..... so am i done configuration correct?? let me know if any changes required!

If it is not there try to create pipelines.yml file in you config folder and start logstash with bin/logstash -r option ---

> [@naveen\_K.N](#): > > its in RHEL operating system , so are you sure we can start using bin/logstash -r?? Well that am not sure of. Ours is Linux - GNU/Linux. Try to start it in your local machine. Then you can try it in RHEL or anywhere. Or your local itself is RHEL? 😛 ---

> its in RHEL operating system , so are you sure we can start using bin/logstash -r?? The choice of Linux distribution doesn't affect whether the `-r` option works. ---

What I would suggest or prefered to do is.. Do the testing and all the stuff in your local machine and if the configuration works well go to the higher environment. That way you can save lot of time. Just think about it. ---
