Greetings, I have a simulation I wanted to try : - Filebeat (one agent or more) send logs to another machine (where Logstash located) - Logstash to receive the logs and do the filters - Logs will be saved on specified directory, e.g : /var/log/syslog My question: Is it possible to make a directory for each agents / clients right after Logstash received the logs from FIlebeat so that the logs will be separated by host name? Thanks ---

Filebeat includes the hostname in the events. You can use a [sprintf](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/event-dependent-configuration.html) reference in the output to refer to that hostname. ---
