Hello,

I use logstash to populate some elastic indexes.  
Even if this works, I have this warning when I run the command:

> WARNING: Could not find logstash.yml which is typically located in $LS\_HOME/config or /etc/logstash. You can specify the path using --path.settings. Continuing using the defaults

I saw this warning can be deleted adding the "--path.settings" option with the correct path but is there an option to specify logstash to use default like it actually does but without this warning ?

Thanks.
