Hello, I'm installing new stack elk for my stage env. Kibana, and ES are ok, but I have problem with logstash. Currently, I have no input on this env. no metricbeat started, no filebeat, nothing. I configured pipelines, to prepare all my input, start logstash without problem, but when I stop it: ``` > [2020-06-30T16:47:55,934][WARN][org.logstash.execution.ShutdownWatcherExt] {"inflight_count"=>0, "stalling_threads_info"=>{"other"=>[{"thread_id"=>35, "name"=>"[main]"[...]/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.5.0/gems/logstash-input-beats-6.0.9-java/lib/logstash/inputs/beats.rb:197:in `run'"}, {"thread_id"=>36, "name"=>"[main]"[...]/logstash-core/lib/logstash/plugins/builtin/pipeline/input.rb:43:in `sleep'"}, {"thread_id"=>37, "name"=>"[main]"[...]/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.5.0/gems/logstash-input-tcp-6.0.4-java/lib/logstash/inputs/tcp.rb:153:in `run'"}, {"thread_id"=>38, "name"=>"[main]"[...]/logstash-core/lib/logstash/plugins/builtin/pipeline/input.rb:43:in `sleep'"}, {"thread_id"=>39, "name"=>"[main]"[...]/logstash-core/lib/logstash/plugins/builtin/pipeline/input.rb:43:in `sleep'"}], ["LogStash::Filters::Mutate", {"add_field"=>{"[@metadata][index_name]"=>"metricbeat_%{+YYYY-MM-dd}"}, "id"=>"7a465fd96a234ea6bd32b267ed00c1c9ce9d1c1544a74aaaa53b34c42e202ab7"}]=>[{"thread_id"=>31, "name"=>"[main]>worker0", "current_call"=>"[...]/logstash-core/lib/logstash/java_pipeline.rb:279:in `block in start_workers'"}, {"thread_id"=>32, "name"=>"[main]>worker1", "current_call"=>"[...]/logstash-core/lib/logstash/java_pipeline.rb:279:in `block in start_workers'"}, {"thread_id"=>33, "name"=>"[main]>worker2", "current_call"=>"[...]/logstash-core/lib/logstash/java_pipeline.rb:279:in `block in start_workers'"}, {"thread_id"=>34, "name"=>"[main]>worker3", "current_call"=>"[...]/logstash-core/lib/logstash/java_pipeline.rb:279:in `block in start_workers'"}]}} > [2020-06-30T16:47:55,946][ERROR][org.logstash.execution.ShutdownWatcherExt] The shutdown process appears to be stalled due to busy or blocked plugins.

Why logstashis busy and eat nothing ? here is the metricbeat pipeline ``` > # metric-beat.pipeline.conf > input { pipeline { address => metricbeat } } > filter { > mutate { add_field => { "[@metadata][index_name]" => "metricbeat_%{+YYYY-MM-dd}" } } > } > output { > pipeline { send_to => sortie } > } ``` Do you have an idea ?

The problem was order of pipelines. I keeped the pipeline.yml to \*.conf. I had to use one line per pipeline file. with correct order (input \> N transform data \> output) ---
