Due to the different flow of traffic I need to change the value of `pipeline.workers` attribute dynamically. But currently I am using `sed` and other bash tool to edit the `pipeline.yaml` file and update the value.

Is there any way I can do the same with the logstash API?

I have tried Elasticsearch API endpoint but it is not working for me maybe because I am using OSS version.

There is not, the Logstash REST Endpoint is for [monitoring only](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/7.15/monitoring-logstash.html#monitoring), you can't update settings for pipelines, the only thing that you can update is the log level for some loggers, but not pipeline settings.
