Hi, I am using about 30 pipelines in my logstash pipeline configuration. Since each pipeline takes about 30s to start, which is done sequentially, I would like to define starting priority in some kind. I noticed that the order of the pipelines in pipelines.yml seems not to matter. In which order is logstash starting the pipelines? Does it order the pipeline-ids?

I would like to start the most important pipelines with highest traffic first.

Thanks, Andreas
