yaml - logstash.yml file - want to change where the logs are saved

Question

I'm trying to use the logstash.yml file to change where the logs are saved.

I am not familiar with log4j2 so cannot use that file for this(log4j2.properties).

But for some reason, the logstash.yml file does not change the log location, regardless of what I put. It works on a different server set up years ago that is being updated regularly. I've compared the files and they are identical.

Please help. I am so confused. It keeps defaulting to /usr/share. This is my redacted code.

    # ------------  Node identity ------------
    #
    # Use a descriptive name for the node:
    #
     node.name: twisty-logstash

    # ------------ Data path ------------------
    #
    # Which directory should be used by logstash and its 
    plugins
    # for any persistent needs. Defaults to 
    LOGSTASH_HOME/data
    #
    path.data: /var/lib/logstash

    # ------------ Pipeline Settings --------------
    pipeline.ordered: auto

    # ------------ Pipeline Configuration Settings --------
    config.reload.automatic: true
    config.reload.interval: 5s

I've bind the address and port.

    # ------------ Debugging Settings --------------
    log.level: debug
    path.logs: /var/log/logstash
    pipeline.separate_logs: true

    # ------------ Other Settings --------------
    pipeline.separate_logs: true
