Logstash not running when configured with multiple pipline yaml configuration file

[balavenkatesh3322 (Bala venkatesh)]

This is my pipeline configuration file -

  - pipeline.id: my-pipeline_1
      path.config: "C:\\logstash\\logstash-7.6.1\\config\\mongodata_non_mcn.conf"
    - pipeline.id: my-other-pipeline
      path.config: "C:\\logstash\\logstash-7.6.1\\config\\mongodata_comment_list.conf"

When i run this file using below commant i got this error:-
>logstash -f \logstash\logstash-7.6.1\config\pipelines.yml

Error :-

if you run logstash with -f, it ignores pipelines.yml as per the docs

you should put pipelines.yml in path.config then run logstash without arguments. path.settings defaults to {extract.path}/config when you use .zip or .tar.gz installer. see directory layout
