I enabled netflow module via command line and my pipeline.yml configurations are ignored. How do i remove netflow module in logstash 7.2? or is there any way to use pipeline.yml config and modules?

Unfortunately, no. The Logstash modules were an experimental feature that was designed as a "turn-key" solution so it is either a module or a config. We are not developing the module idea now as this has moved to Beats.

That said, the module source config is viewable/discoverable and with a bit of editing you can extract the netflow config and merge it with your other config.

Thanks, i guess i'll re-install logstash from the scratch. That's just easy for me to recover.
