Version: Logstash 7.3.1
Issue:
[2019-10-16T15:42:09,070][ERROR][org.logstash.Logstash] java.lang.IllegalStateException: Logstash stopped processing because of an error: (SystemExit) exit
[2019-10-16T15:42:34,593][WARN][logstash.config.source.multilocal] Ignoring the 'pipelines.yml' file because modules or command line options are specified
[2019-10-16T15:42:34,622][FATAL][logstash.runner] Logstash could not be started because there is already another instance using the configured data directory. If you wish to run multiple instances, you must change the "path.data" setting.

Pipeline settings:
- pipeline.id: logstash\_main
path.config: "/usr/share/logstash/conf.d/logstash.conf"
Logstash.yml:
path.data: /usr/share/logstash/data/
path.config: /usr/share/logstash/
path.logs: /var/log/logstash
Does anyone have solutions to it?
