=== Configuring Centralized Pipeline Management

<titleabbrev>Centralized Pipeline Management</titleabbrev>

To configure
{logstash-ref}/logstash-centralized-pipeline-management.html[centralized pipeline management]:
. Verify that you are using a license that includes the pipeline management
feature.
+
--
For more information, see https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions and
{kibana-ref}/managing-licenses.html[License management].
--
. Specify
<<configuration-management-settings,configuration management settings>> in the
`logstash.yml` file. At a
minimum, set:
+
* `xpack.management.enabled: true` to enable centralized configuration
management.
* `xpack.management.elasticsearch.hosts` to specify the Elasticsearch
instance that will store the Logstash pipeline configurations and metadata.
* `xpack.management.pipeline.id` to register the pipelines that you want to
centrally manage.
. Restart Logstash.
. If your Elasticsearch cluster is protected with basic authentication, assign
the built-in `logstash_admin` role as well as the `logstash_writer` role to any users who will use centralized pipeline
management. See <<ls-security>> for more information.
NOTE: Centralized management is disabled until you configure and enable
{security-features}.
IMPORTANT: After you've configured Logstash to use centralized pipeline
management, you can no longer specify local pipeline configurations. This means
that the `pipelines.yml` file and settings like `path.config` and
`config.string` are inactive when this feature is enabled.
