I have my conf files in the etc/logstash/conf.d/ directory, so whenever I run a pipeline I have to add this path to my command. ex:  
bin/logstash -f **/etc/logstash/conf.d/pipe.conf**

what do I have to modify to run a pipeline just with this command:

bin/logstash -f pipe.conf

Hi

In my installation (logstash 7.4.0, docker), pipelines are configured in `/usr/share/logstash/config/pipelines.yml`. There you can set a `path.config` for each pipeline.

Hope this helps.
