hello all!  
just a quick question: it seems that, the [inter-pipeline communication](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/pipeline-to-pipeline.html) does not support the `path.config` parameter.  
I could only make it work with `config.string`.  
Any plans to support both config parameters?

Thank you!

sorry, false alarm 🙂  
I was using "wrong" format for the `path.config` :

```
path.config: "DRIVE:/path/to/pipeline-xyz.conf" 

```

The only error message was:

```
[ERROR][logstash.config.sourceloader] No configuration found in the configured sources

```

So, the correct path format in `pipelines.yml` on windows:

```
path.config: "DRIVE:\\path\\to\\pipeline-xyz.conf"

```

or

```
path.config: "/DRIVE:/path/to/pipeline-xyz.conf"
```
