I am getting the below warning when I am trying to the config test because of which my Logstash is getting stuck when pipeline starts. Need help to resolve this .

#/usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash --config.test\_and\_exit -f /etc/logstash/conf.d/

I'm confused. As the error message clearly says pipelines.yml is ignored if you specify a command line option like `-f`. If you want to test the configuration files in /etc/logstash/conf.d then it probably doesn't matter that it's ignoring pipelines.yml, right?
