Elastic Stack Beats

Is it possible to extract information from Filebeat prospectors path?
Here is an example:
filebeat.prospectors:

  • input_type: log
    paths:
    • /log//test///.log

I wanted to extract the values of * from the paths and appends them as filebeat message meta informations.

This is currently not possible in filebeat, but you could extract such fields with logstash from the path field.
