From almost all output plugins, we can see "workers" parameter:

[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-outputs-elasticsearch.html#plugins-outputs-elasticsearch-workers](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-outputs-elasticsearch.html#plugins-outputs-elasticsearch-workers)

Is it still working with new logstash 2 pipeline?

Given you are looking at the `current` docs, and 2.2 is current, yes they still work.

Sorry I don't get it, logstash CLI pipeline-workers is different than output workers settings ?

Pipeline workers are for both filters and output plugins.

Hmm, will pipeline-workers override output plugin workers settings? (or opposite)

Thanks,

This blog post might make it clearer - [https://www.elastic.co/blog/upgrade-guide-for-logstash-2-2](https://www.elastic.co/blog/upgrade-guide-for-logstash-2-2)

But if not let us know, I will see if we can get a dev to comment 🙂
