It's possible to aggregate different input files content? Example: file1.txt May 1 15:57:11 myhost sshd[34427]: pam\_unix(sshd:session): session opened for user hendrenj by (uid=0) May 1 16:16:13 myhost sshd[34427]: pam\_unix(sshd:session): session closed for user hendrenj May 5 14:27:09 myhost sshd[43553]: pam\_unix(sshd:session): session opened for user hendrenj by (uid=0) May 5 18:23:41 myhost sshd[43553]: pam\_unix(sshd:session): session closed for user hendrenj file2.txt user hendrenj connected from 43.3.21.157 at May 1 15:50:01 user hendrenj disconnected from 43.3.21.157 at May 1 16:51:32 user hendrenj connected from 43.3.21.157 at May 5 14:10:35 user hendrenj disconnected from 43.3.21.157 at May 5 20:10:22 I want an output like this: file3.txt at May 1 15:50:01 user hendrenj connected from 43.3.21.157 at May 1 15:57:11 session opened for user hendrenj by (uid=0) at May 1 16:16:13 session closed for user hendrenj at May 1 16:51:32 user hendrenj disconnected from 43.3.21.157 at May 5 14:10:35 user hendrenj connected from 43.3.21.157 at May 5 14:27:09 session opened for user hendrenj by (uid=0) at May 5 18:23:41 session closed for user hendrenj at May 5 20:10:22 user hendrenj disconnected from 43.3.21.157 Do you have some ideas? ---

Just use a grok filter with 2 patterns and set the file output plugin accordingly. ---
