Hello everyone,

I was wondering if/how to setup /etc/logstash/conf.d to be more organize. For instance if I have multiple configuration files and want to organize them by subdirectory how do I do that? Is that even possible for logstash to read configuration files from subdirectories?

Hi,

You can have multiple subdirectories in your config folder by using the following config path

```auto
-f <top_level_config_dir>/**/*
```
