[http://localhost:9600/\_node/pipelines/test123](http://localhost:9600/_node/pipelines/test123) this works and gives back the details of the running pipeline test123, but when trying to DELETE it using this same endpoint with a DELETE http method, it gives 404 not found, is this support not available for stopping/terminating a running pipeline? i m using the latest logstash version 8.15., was this support available in previous versions? pls answer, thanks in advance. ---

This is not supported, the Logstash APIs are used for **monitoring** only, you cannot start or stop pipelines using it.
