Adding multiple input files

[abhi.logs (Abhi)]

Hello,
Is it possible to add two inputs files in filebeat.yml?
Example:-

    - /etc/filebeat/inputs.d/*.yml
    - /etc/filebeat-oss/inputs.d/*.yml

I wanna add these two files in filebeat.yml under filebeat.config.inputs.

We allow only one glob pattern in filebeat.config.inputs.path. However, the pattern can match multiple directories. Have you tried setting the option to /etc/filebeat*/inputs.d/*.yml?

U can only use 1 glob? The documentation for filestream input says a list of glob based paths, filestream input | Filebeat Reference [7.17] | Elastic. I feel like that's misleading.

The documentation for filestream input says a list of glob based paths

This is different, the inputs supports a list of glob, the config that point to a directory with other configuration files does not.

The config path for inputs is used when you want to load the inputs from external files, I used in that way on a previous company.

The documentation is here.

completely misread that

I have added like this, It's working.

filebeat.config.inputs:
  enabled: true
  path: /etc/filebeat/inputs.d/*.yml
  reload.enabled: true
  reload.period: 10s
filebeat.inputs:
- type: log
  paths:
    - /path/log/*.log

but the issue is in *.yml have JSON log and input for *.log format, In the message, I'm getting timestamp as message, Is there any way I can drop the timestamp string from the message.
