Best practice for multiple Logstash pipelines writing to Elasticsearch

Elastic Stack Logstash
1

Hello,

I'm currently working with multiple Logstash pipelines and I'm trying to determine the best approach for writing data to Elasticsearch. I would appreciate any advice or insights from the community.

Here are the options I'm considering:

  1. Multiple Pipelines, Single Index: I could set up 10 different pipelines, each processing its own data, but all writing to the same Elasticsearch index.
  2. Single Output Pipeline: Alternatively, I could have all the previous pipelines point to a single output pipeline. This would mean that only one pipeline is writing to the Elasticsearch index.

I'm trying to understand the pros and cons of each approach, and whether one might be more efficient or easier to manage than the other.

Or perhaps there's a better solution that I haven't considered?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
