Hello again,

From the previous threads that I have solved, now I have two Logstash configurations, one that output to Http pluging and one to elasticsearch plugin.

I am configuring my D:\logstash-7.17.28\config\pipelines.yml this way:

```auto
 - pipeline.id: test
   pipeline.workers: 1
   pipeline.batch.size: 1
   queue.type: persisted
   queue.page_capacity: 64mb
   queue.max_bytes: 1024mb
   path.config: "D:/logstash-7.17.28/elasticsearch-logstash-v2.conf"
 - pipeline.id: another_test
   pipeline.workers: 1
   pipeline.batch.size: 1
   queue.type: persisted
   queue.page_capacity: 64mb
   queue.max_bytes: 1024mb
   path.config: "D:/logstash-7.17.28/http-logstash.conf"

```

but I receive an error message saying:

```auto

```

What am I doing wrong? Why do I receive a message saying: No configuration found in the configured sources?

Just to complete the question, if I force the use of the D:\logstash-7.17.28\config\pipelines.yml I receive another error:

Are the files in the correct path?

This issue normally happens when the files cannot be found.

You should start LS:

`D:\logstash-7.17.28\bin>logstash.bat --path.settings D:\logstash-7.17.28\config`

In pipeline.yml should change to the backslash, without quotes:  
`path.config: D:\logstash-7.17.28\elasticsearch-logstash-v2.conf`  
or this notation for quotes.  
`path.config: "D:\\logstash-7.17.28\\http-logstash.conf"`

Thanks everyone. Yes, the path was wrong.
