A performance related change made in Logstash 7.7.1 may cause Logstash configurations with multiple pipelines to fail with the following error:
"Unable to configure plugins: (ConfigurationError) Cannot evaluate `${variable}`. Replacement variable `variable` is not defined in a Logstash secret store or as an Environment entry and there is no default value given."
A fix for this issue was included as part of the Logstash 7.9.2 release, and users encountering the above issue should upgrade their Logstash instance.
