I run logstash in the following manner.  
bin/logstash -f config/log\_test.conf --config.reload.automatic

Contents:  
input{~~}  
filter{~~~}  
output{  
if {  
~~~~~  
} else if {  
~~~~~~~  
}  
}

I want to dynamically change the contents of log\_test.conf.

This way, the log\_test.conf file is modified, but it can not be managed remotely (REST).

If i can set the above logic on the pipeline in logstash.yml, i can manage it with REST. Using the function "Centralized Pipeline Management" [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/logstash-centralized-pipeline-management.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/logstash-centralized-pipeline-management.html)

However, "Centralized Pipeline Management" can not contain complex logic such as if - else, filter.

How can I solve this problem ??
