I am trying to use multiple pipelines and my `pipeline.yml` is the following:

```
- pipeline.id: main
  path.config: "/etc/logstash/conf.d/*.conf"
- pipeline.id: p_mapping_users
  path.config: "/etc/logstash/mapping_pipelines/mapping_users.conf"
- pipeline.id: p_mapping_fqdnvh
  path.config: "/etc/logstash/mapping_pipelines/mapping_fqdnvh.conf"
- pipeline.id: p_mapping_user_agents
  pipeline.id: "/etc/logstash/mapping_pipelines/mapping_user_agents.conf"
- pipeline.id: p_mapping_hosts
  pipeline.id: "/etc/logstash/mapping_pipelines/mapping_hosts.conf"
- pipeline.id: p_mapping_sldomain
  path.config: "/etc/logstash/mapping_pipelines/mapping_sldomain.conf"
- pipeline.id: p_mapping_channels
  path.config: "/etc/logstash/mapping_pipelines/mapping_channels.conf

```

The weird thing is that `logstash` starts **most** of them (5 out of 7)

```
[2018-05-17T15:52:19,239][INFO][logstash.agent] Pipelines running {:count=>5, :pipelines=>["main", "p_mapping_channels", "p_mapping_fqdnvh", "p_mapping_sldomain", "p_mapping_users"]}

```

No error whatsoever in my logs.

How to debug this?

Is there a setting that limits the max pipeline number or something?

I have erroneously used `pipeline.id` in the place of `path.config` in the 2 pipelines not running...
