Hi,

I am trying to parse the logs and sending it to Zabbix.  
I am using centOS.

In logstash.yml file, I have configured only 1 setting in pipeline settig section:  
`path.config: /etc/logstash/conf.d/*.conf`

Everything else is default:  
[2018-08-30T08:36:52,357][DEBUG][logstash.runner] pipeline.id: "main"  
[2018-08-30T08:36:52,357][DEBUG][logstash.runner] pipeline.system: false  
[2018-08-30T08:36:52,357][DEBUG][logstash.runner] pipeline.workers: 1  
[2018-08-30T08:36:52,357][DEBUG][logstash.runner] pipeline.output.workers: 1  
[2018-08-30T08:36:52,357][DEBUG][logstash.runner] pipeline.batch.size: 125  
[2018-08-30T08:36:52,357][DEBUG][logstash.runner] pipeline.batch.delay: 5  
[2018-08-30T08:36:52,357][DEBUG][logstash.runner] pipeline.unsafe\_shutdown: false  
[2018-08-30T08:36:52,358][DEBUG][logstash.runner] pipeline.reloadable: true

Below is my pipelines.yml file:

```
- pipeline.id: xx-pipeline
  path.config: "/etc/logstash/conf.d/xxx.conf"
  pipeline.workers: 2
- pipeline.id: yy-pipeline
  path.config: "/etc/logstash/conf.d/yyy.conf"
  pipeline.workers: 2
- pipeline.id: zz-pipeline
  path.config: "/etc/logstash/zzz.conf"
  pipeline.workers: 2
- pipeline.id: aa-pipeline
  path.config: "/etc/logstash/conf.d/aaa.conf"
  pipeline.workers: 2

```

first 2 config files are sending data to Elasticsearch and I am able to see logstash data in Kibana.  
last 2 config files are sending data to zabbix server and I am not able to see any data in Zabbix server.

I traced logstash logs and below is what I found:

```

How are you starting Logstash? If you use the `-e` (`--config.string`) or `-f` (`--path.config`) command line arguments then it will not read `pipelines.yml`. Starting it as a Linux service may be using the `--path.config` option by default.

Hi Alex,

I am using below command to start logstash:

`sudo /usr/bin/systemctl start logstash`

You have `path.config` configured in your `logstash.yml`. From the [multiple pipelines docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/multiple-pipelines.html) this will be used instead of the pipelines file if you have both configured.

Remove the `path.config` line from `logstash.yml` and it should work.
