I wanted to grab logs from different path and then will send it to different end points of logstash.  
And I am following your official document for the same([https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-configuration-reloading.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-configuration-reloading.html)).

My root filebeat.yml looks like below:  
filebeat.config.inputs:  
enabled: true  
path: inputs.d\*.yml

My inner yml files looks like below:  
Dir(C:\beats\filebeat\inputs.d\log1.yml)

- type: log  
paths:
  - C:\logpath\*.log  
multiline:  
pattern: '^[.+]'  
negate: true  
match: after  
max\_line: 999  
timeout: 60  
output.logstash:  
hosts: ["mylogstahhost:8080"]

I am running filebeat on windows and my filebeat version is 6.3

When I am trying to start the service it's not getting started. It's failing I am sure I am missing something here. Please let me know how to achieve this ![filebeat](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/7/8/78349afed540e6e201ac212f5c22f06fd743de90.png)

Could you please format the configuration using `</>`? Please attach debug logs (output of `filebeat -e -d "*"`).

I achieved this by running multiple file beat instances on that host. Thanks !!!
