> isn't the point of `/etc//conf.d` directories generally that you have multiple config files? Yes certainly. It's totally fine to place multiple config files there, I do as well. I split up my configs in the various outputs, inputs etc. It's just that logstash combines them to a single pipeline and does not run a pipeline per config file. Nginx doesn't run a webserver per config file either :). It's certainly something that's unexpected and could be much better documented, but alas, I'm just a user :) (and I do agree, your issue could have been handled much better, especially since it's not actually a bug)
