In logstash 7.3.0 i just to have conf like  
01\_input.conf  
02\_parser-a  
03\_parser-b  
...  
nn\_parser-z  
99\_output.conf

Now i use Logstash 7.6.1  
It seems it has problem, when `filter {}` section is spread among more files

I had it like `filter{ ` at the end of file 00\_input.conf

And the ending carret of filter - `}` at the beginning of file 99\_output.conf

So all my nn\_parser-z files were inside of the filter.

Now it only allows me to have one very long file begginning with `filter{` and ending with `}`

I hope you will understand 🙂
