How are you invoking Logstash? If done with `-f` or `-e` flags indicating a specific config to run, it will skip loading other configurations from config files.

Yes I am loading with -f for a config file.

If you use -f to load a config file then logstash will ignore pipelines.yml. You cannot use both.

No, it is working as expected. If you use -f then it will warn you that it is ignoring pipelines.yml.
