I have weird problem.

I have three node cluster, one node runs all the logstash pipeline, other two just for test.  
Setup conf file, tested it on one of the server from command line. when all good, moved to primary server. restarted logstash. but it didn't picked up that file. I have 13 other pipeline running on that server without problem.

moved back to test system. set up one pipe line but still it is not picking up that file. how do I debug it

logstash log file.

```
[2019-04-10T14:10:53,138][INFO][logstash.agent] Pipelines running {:count=>2, :running_pipelines=>[:hourpt001, :".monitoring-logstash"], :non_running_pipelines=>[]}
[2019-04-10T14:10:53,552][INFO][logstash.agent] Successfully started Logstash API endpoint {:port=>9600}

```

pipeline config

- pipeline.id: hourpt001  
path.config: "/etc/logstash/conf.d/hourpt001\_disk\_\*.conf"  
pipeline.workers: 1

file name

# ls -la /etc/logstash/conf.d/hourpt001\_disk\_\*.conf
