Hi, I am running logstash for a single file by ```auto sudo /usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash --path.settings /etc/logstash/ -f /etc/logstash/conf.d/myfile.conf ``` it is running correctly. But when I start logstash as a service by `sudo systemctl logstash start ` . It started but it 's not picking conf file from conf.d by pipelines.yml. I am using Linux and my logstash.yml and pipelines.yml files present at `/etc/logstash/l ` directory. I rename my logstash.yml and after that I start logstash as service, it started 😀 (without logstash.yml) No Idea where it get all settings and configuration because I change/renamed logstash.yml My target is run logstash as a service and it will pick pipelines setting to run multiple pipeline. Thanks in Advance. ---

Hi, Any suggestion on it. I tried all possible ways. I installed logstash by rpm on linux centos. I removed logstash.yml from etc/logstash directory. Still able to run a single file by command sudo /usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash --path.settings /etc/logstash/ -f /etc/logstash/conf.d/myfile.conf Thanks ---
