Creating multiple output files in Logstash

[Deepthi_V]

Hello,

I have my input section where I have a given path which has multiple directories and log files in it. I have written the following:

input {
file {
path => "/home/deepthi/Desktop/logs/**/*.log"
}
}

I want to create multiple output files in the output section with the same name as the input file name and just append '-logoutput.log' at the end of the filename. Can anybody please tell me how this can be achieved in Logstash?

Thanks in advance!

The path to the input file is added to the path field. You can reference that field in your file output configuration:

path => "%{path}-logoutput.log"
