Hello,

Thanks for reading this. I am trying out Logstash v6 and multiple pipeline configuration, as per [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/6.x/multiple-pipelines.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/6.x/multiple-pipelines.html)

I have configured my pipelines.yml follows:

- [pipeline.id](http://pipeline.id): influxdb-remote  
path.config: "/etc/logstash/conf.d/logstash-influx-data.conf"  
pipeline.workers: 2

- [pipeline.id](http://pipeline.id): elasticsearch-remote  
path.config: "/etc/logstash/conf.d/logstash-test1.conf"  
pipeline.workers: 2

When I run logstash, without any option, I get the following message:  
sudo /usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash  
[WARN][logstash.config.source.multilocal] Ignoring the 'pipelines.yml' file because modules or command line options are specified  
[INFO][logstash.agent] Successfully started Logstash API endpoint {:port=\>9600}  
.........  
[INFO][logstash.pipeline] Pipeline started {"[pipeline.id](http://pipeline.id)"=\>"main"}  
[INFO][logstash.agent] Pipelines running {:count=\>1, :pipelines=\>["main"]}

How to run multiple pipelines, so logstash doesnt ignore my pipelines.yml? I have no command line options or modules specified....  
How to verify how many pipelines I have running?

Note, in above output there was only one pipeline started for two config files which are located in /etc/logstash/conf.d/ dir.  
pipelines.yml seems to have been ignored.

It seems that path.config in Logstash in rpm needs to be commented out as per information on GitHub:

Logstash will then use pipeline.yml.
