## Below is my pipelines.yml file but the configs not picked by logstash! Anything wrong here?

- pipeline.id: step1  
pipeline.workers: 1  
path.config: "D:/logstash-7.8.1/config/step1.conf"
- pipeline.id: step2  
pipeline.workers: 1  
path.config: "D:/logstash-7.8.1/config/step2.conf"

Logstash output:

Try running with --log.level debug --config.debug and see what it is trying to load.

Hi, please format your codes and errors under preformatted text `</>` or backticks `(```)` as it is hard to read otherwise.

This error means that the logstash could not parse the configuration.  
Usually this indicate that there's either Bad or missing syntax / character / whitespaces / separators in your config files.

To have a better understanding for your issue, would you mind to share your logstash.yml and config files?
