Hello ppl,

I have a Filebeat \> Logstash \> Elasticsearch set up in my environment where we are collecting logs data by installing Filebeat and forwarding the data via logstash input. However, we have a peculiar situation where we have 3 different apps with 3 different logs hosted on the same server.  
I have configured the Filebeat.yml to send logs from these 3 logs under the filebeat.inputs field.  
My question is, is it possible to create separate indexes for each of these logs in Elastic?  
I tried some of the below settings in the logstash input pipeline but it didnt work and I keep getting an error when I start logstash.

## input plugin:

input {  
beats {  
port =\> 5058  
path =\> "H:\LogFiles\ABC\abc.log"  
tags =\> "ABC"  
tags =\> "hostname"  
}  
beats {  
port =\> 5058  
path =\> "H:\LogFiles\PQR\pqr.log"  
tags =\> "PQR"  
tags =\> "hostname"  
}  
beats {  
port =\> 5058  
path =\> "H:\LogFiles\XYZ\xyz.log\*"  
tags =\> "XYZ"  
tags =\> "hostname"  
}  
}

And, here's my filebeat.input setting in the yml file:

# ============================== Filebeat inputs ===============================

filebeat.inputs:

- type: filestream  
enabled: true  
id: abc  
paths:

- type: filestream  
enabled: true  
id: pqr  
paths:

- type: filestream  
enabled: true  
id: xyz  
paths:

=======================================

Thanks,
