I am using multi-pipeline feature.  
Now "path.config" in logstash.yaml is of no use to me, as I am mentioning that in my pipelines.yaml.  
So, I removed "path.config" from logstash.yaml.

My logstashs.yml looks like this -  
\<  
path.data: /var/lib/logstash  
path.logs: /var/log/logstash  
/\>

My pipelines.yml looks like this -  
\<

- pipeline.id: abc  
path.data: /path-to-data  
path.config: /path-to-config/pqr.conf  
path.logs: /path-to-logs/logs.conf  
queue.type: persisted  
/\>

I am getting the error that configuration file is not provided.  
ERROR: No configuration file was specified. Perhaps you forgot to provide the '-f yourlogstash.conf' flag?
