Hi, I have configured the azure module in logstash.yml, but after the container starts im receiving this error: ERROR: Settings 'path.config' (-f) or 'config.string' (-e) can't be used in conjunction with (--modules) or the "modules:" block in the logstash.yml file. I followed these instructions: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/azure-module.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/azure-module.html) Now im basically stuck. Can someone help me out? Thanks in advance ---

Im starting it with kubernetes. Added this to my logstash.yml: logstash.yml: |- http.host: "0.0.0.0" path.config: /usr/share/logstash/pipeline xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.url: [http://elastic:9200](http://elastic:9200) xpack.monitoring.enabled: true modules: - name: azure var.elasticsearch.hosts: elastic:9200 var.kibana.host: kibana:80 var.input.azure\_event\_hubs.decorate\_events: true var.input.azure\_event\_hubs.consumer\_group: "logstash" var.input.azure\_event\_hubs.storage\_connection: "DefaultEndpointsProtocol=xxx;[EndpointSuffix=core.windows.net](http://EndpointSuffix=core.windows.net)" var.input.azure\_event\_hubs.threads: 8 var.input.azure\_event\_hubs.event\_hub\_connections: - "Endpoint=xxxxx ---

Exactly what logstash command line does starting it with kubernetes result in? ---

I wouldnt know what commandline it starts. Well this what is configured: ``` args: - -f - /usr/share/logstash/pipeline/logstash.conf ``` This is the deployment config that i have. But the commands inside of the container is unknown to me: apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1 kind: Deployment metadata: name: logstash-application spec: template: metadata: labels: app: logstash-application spec: containers: - image: [docker.elastic.co/logstash/logstash:6.6.0](http://docker.elastic.co/logstash/logstash:6.6.0) name: logstash-application ports: - name: logstash containerPort: 5044 protocol: TCP volumeMounts: - name: config mountPath: /usr/share/logstash/config/logstash.yml subPath: logstash.yml readOnly: true - name: pipeline mountPath: /usr/share/logstash/pipeline readOnly: true args: - -f - /usr/share/logstash/pipeline/logstash.conf resources: limits: memory: 1Gi cpu: "500m" requests: memory: 1Gi cpu: "500m" volumes: - name: pipeline configMap: name: logstash-application items: - key: logstash.conf path: logstash.conf - name: config configMap: name: logstash-application items: - key: logstash.yml path: logstash.yml ---

OK, so that's the problem. > [@solstarz](#): > > ERROR: Settings 'path.config' (-f) or 'config.string' (-e) can't be used in conjunction with (--modules) or the "modules:" block in the logstash.yml file. You configured it to be started using '-f /usr/share/logstash/pipeline/logstash.conf' but you have also configured a module. You cannot have both. ---

So what would be the right way to get this working? Because i even turned it off in the config but still it failed with the same message. Anyone else that is having this issue with the docker logstash image?? ---
