Storing Multiple Logstash configuration files?

I know logstash by default says to place them in the logstash default directory according to Configuring Logstash.

However what if you have multiple Logstash configuration files? Doesn't it attempt to load them all on start? or will it only load what you specify. I can't seem to find on the logstash install/configuration tutorials where exactly the best place to keep multiple logstash configuration files at.

Logstash will load files in that directory in lexical order. You'll see similar ordering on Linux systems in various places. The conventional way to handle load-order is with a prefixed number

10-input-syslog.conf
10-input-application.conf
20-filter-syslog.conf
21-filter-application.conf
30-output-elasticsearch.conf

Like so. Filters are order-sensitive, so you want to be sure those are numbered right for your usage.
