I hope its not a repeat Question.

I m trying to ingest multiple files from multiple directories via filebeat --\> logstash.

in my file beat input config (filebeat.config.inputs: statements) i m adding log\_type field for each directory.

myapp1.yml

- paths:
  - C:/myapp1/_/_.log\*  
fields:  
log\_type: myapp1

myapp2.yml

- paths:
  - C:/myapp2/_/_.log\*  
fields:  
log\_type: myapp2

in logstash filter

if [fields][log\_type] == "myapp1" {  
grok {  
# my grok pattern for myapp1  
}  
}

if [fields][log\_type] == "myapp2" {  
grok {  
# my grok pattern for myapp2  
}  
}

My logstash filter is working as i see output in right format as i have set to stdout { codec =\> rubydebug }

in output i tried this ..

output {

```
if "_grokparsefailure" not in [tags] {

 if [file][path] =~ "myapp1" {
    elasticsearch {
            hosts => ["http://localhost:9200"]
	index => "myapp1-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
     }
    }

 if [file][path] =~ "myapp2" {
    elasticsearch {
            hosts => ["http://localhost:9200"]
	index => "myapp2-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
     }
    }

```

}

My output is not working. So is if [file][path] =~ "myapp2" right ? i have also tried if "myapp1" in [file][path] and still don't see my indexes,

Any clue ?

I think it should be: `if [file][path] =~ /myapp2/ {`
