Hi

I currently have logstash outputting to 2 different ES clusters.  
Is it possible to anonymise some fields sent to one cluster, but not the other?

(Using ES + LS 2.33)

No, you will need to clone the data and then run the anonymising filter on one of those and then send that to the cluster you want.
