A) Is there a way to add tags or fields - conditionally in filebeat.
For eg: if the input file is _xyz_ then add tag or field XYZ
if the input file is _abc_ then add tag or field ABC
OR
b) Alternatively can we add tag/field per prospector path ?
- input\_type: log
- input\_type: log

You can use multiple prospectors for that. Each prospector can have it's own fields / tags.
