Hi

I'm in the process of setting up ELK. Full X-Pack. Setting up pipelines using Kibana is really nice, but I now need Ansible/Chef/Puppet to propagate the pipeline id to the logstash.yml.

How about adding a `group` field to the pipeline document, and allowing logstash.yml to specify a regexp for filtering which pipeline groups to deploy?

In my specific case, I'd specify `.*` to begin with.

Is there another way to achieve this? I basically want Logstash to pick up any and all pipelines I add through Kibana.
