Hello,

we have a server with logfiles in directories:

```
/xxx/log1/
- test-1.log
- test-2.log
- enrich-log1.json

/xxx/log2/
- test-1.log
- test-2.log
- enrich-log2.json

```

and so on....

the json file "enrich-log\*.json" has more details about the logs within the same directory and looks like this:  
`{"key-1":"value-1", "key-2":"value-2", "key-3":"value-3"}`

we configured filebeat:

```auto
    filebeat.inputs:
    -type:
         log.paths:
               /xxx/log*/*.log

```

How can we add the data from "enrich.json" as fields to every document within the same directory ?

this is something we look for (of course not working):

```auto
filebeat.inputs:
-type:
  log.paths:
      /xxx/log*/*.log
  processors:
      add_fields:
          target: enriched
          source: /xxx/log*/enrich-log*.json
          fields:
              key-1: "value1"
              key-2: "value2"
              key-3: "value3"

```

We already thought about using Logstash, but only Filebeat has access to the directories.

best regards

Perhaps you need to understand how enrich processor works..
