Hi,  
Logstash node stats API "curl localhost:9600/\_node/stats" output shows pipeine id's -- e.g. below -

"id" : "abb168b315455ae7945381a4132c04afd8642d0e819883168a76566db277b94e"

It seems that logstash generates random id for each plugin in input, filter and output plugins.  
If there are multiple plugins in input and output without specifying ID in conf files then it becomes difficult to identify.  
Could someone please suggest if there is way to figure out.  
Thanks.  
Sanjay

That is why you are given the option to set the id yourself for each plugin.
