Hi,  
I am hoping someone can help me spot where am I doing a mistake.  
I am trying to spin up a simple logstash docker container (oss) with a persistent volume mounted to the default pipeline directory.  
However, when I look into the container, I see it only has the default \*.conf file in the pipeline directory.

This is my docker-compose:

> version: '3'  
> services:
> 
> ```
> logstash:
> image: docker.elastic.co/logstash/logstash-oss:6.6.2
> container_name: logstash
> volumes:
> - lspipeline:/usr/share/logstash/pipeline
> ports:
> - 9600:9600
> - 5040:5040
> - 8181:8181
> networks:
> - esnet
> 
> volumes:
> lspipeline:
> networks:
> esnet:
> 
> ```

I can see that logstash starts up using only the default pipeline:

```

```

Login into the container and listing the contents of the pipeline directory (/usr/share/logstash/pipeline):

```
> bash-4.2$ ls pipeline/
> logstash.conf
> bash-4.2$ 

```

Inspecting the container, I see the mount is there.  
But my mounted pipeline directory has three pipeline configurations. (no logstash.conf)

```
> "Mounts": [
> {
> "Type": "volume",
> "Name": "mn_lspipeline",
> "Source": "/var/lib/docker/volumes/mn_lspipeline/_data",
> "Destination": "/usr/share/logstash/pipeline",
> "Driver": "local",
> "Mode": "rw",
> "RW": true,
> "Propagation": ""
> }
> ],

> bash-4.2$ mount
> overlay on / type overlay (rw,relatime,lowerdir=/var/lib/docker/overlay2
> ...
> /dev/sdd6 on /usr/share/logstash/pipeline type ext4 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered)
> ...

```

I also have an elasticsearch container with a mounted data directory, and that works fine. Also have one with red node, working fine as well. Only logstash seems to be a problem.

I cannot figure it out. Help please! 🙂 Thanks!
