I'm using Windows Server 2012 R2 (can't check if it's ok on Linux).

The pipelines.yml contains two these lines:

```
 - pipeline.id: test
   path.config: "C:/logstash-6.0.0/config/test.conf"

```

The content of the test.conf doesn't meter. It's empty in my case:

```
 input {}
 filter {}
 output {}

```

Logstash cmd:

```
 C:\logstash-6.0.0\bin>logstash --log.level=debug

```

The output contains this error

```
sourceloader - No configuration found in the configured sources

```

Full output:

```
