So since I upgraded from 6.4.3 to 6.5.0 I cannot run a pipline with the windows version of Logstash 6.5.0.

I have a feeling it has to do with the forward slash "/" vs back slash "\" in the file paths since windows and Linux different path separators.

Here is my pipelines.yml file that I have tried in both formats for forward slash/back slash

With Forward Slashes

```
- pipeline.id: Oracle-JDBC-Pipeline
  path.config: "E:/Logstash/conf/live_data.conf"
  pipeline.workers: 1
  queue.type: persisted

```

With Backslashes

> ```
> - pipeline.id: Oracle-JDBC-Pipeline
> path.config: "E:\Logstash\conf\live_data.conf"
> pipeline.workers: 1
> queue.type: persisted
> 
> ```

This is what I see when i run Logstash with the debug switch aka "logstash --debug"
