Greetings I am using centrally managed pipelines, so that I can change the pipeline in all my logstash nodes at once. The configuration is following: ``` xpack.management.enabled: true xpack.management.elasticsearch.url: ["https://x.x.x.x:9200", "https://x.x.x.x:9200", ...] xpack.management.elasticsearch.username: "logstash_admin" xpack.management.elasticsearch.password: "xxxxx" xpack.management.logstash.poll_interval: 5s xpack.management.pipeline.id: ["clog"] xpack.management.elasticsearch.ssl.ca: /etc/logstash/certs/pemc-clog-ca.crt ``` However, when I make edits to the pipeline in Kibana and click the [Save and deploy] button, I get this error message in the logs, repeated indefinitely: ```

This started happening after I upgraded to 6.4.0 from 6.3.2, but I didn't see anything relevant in the Breaking Changes section. Is there any solution to this? ---

I just tried deleting `/var/lib/logstash/queue/clog/` as some bug reports on Github suggested, but the problem still persists. ---
