Hey all,  
I have a logstash input ingesting router flows and I'd like to have another to get Cisco ASA netflows.  
What's the best way to achieve this?

Should I create separate indexes  
logstash-firewall and logstash-router to distinguish between the two?

Currently logstash index contains both netflow and syslog type from two different sources
