Warning Could not find logstash.yml

Elastic Stack Logstash

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 see that there are others that have the same problem, and I have tried using the --path.settings, and also tried to change the startup.options, but I still get the warning.

I want to run multiple logstash.conf files, since the one I already have is quite long, and it wold be easier to keep track of things if I had multiple config files.

Can someone help me?

Are you running logstash as a service? If so, exactly how is it started?

3 
/usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash -f /etc/logstash/conf.d/logstash.conf

I'm using this command

4

And you are saying that when you add --path.settings pointing to a directory that contains a file called logstash.yml it does not find it? Do you have the LS_SETTINGS_DIR environment variable set?

Yes to both of the questions, and still it does not find it.

Now I get this error when I use the --path.settings /etc/logstash
