This is the configuration in logstash-sample.conf:
```auto
input{
stdin{}
}
output{
elasticsearch{
hosts => ["localhost:9200"]
index => "my-index-name"
user => "elastic"
password => "changeme"
}
file{
path => "/etc/logstash/conf.d/logstash-sample-output"
}
stdout {
}
}
```
This is the configuration in the pipeline.conf file:
```auto
- pipeline.id: main
path.config: "/etc/logstash/conf.d/*.conf"
```
When I run this command:
```auto
/usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash -f logstash-sample.conf
```
This is the log:
The expected output which is the index name is (my-index-name)
should be reflected in Kibana Dashboard Index Management:

2. stop another logstash instance using the same path.data path.

Your log is saying that you have another logstash running in your server, you need to check that and stopped the other instance.

ps -aux | grep "logstash" Will show running instances.
You should make it as a systemd service or try a init / kill script that catch the PID.

**Steps:**

```
1. Kill running instances.

**Additional Information:**
You could pass the path.settings in the CLI with this command:

```
