Hi @Ryne_Keel,

If you want to use different indexes for different modules you can use the [`indices`](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/7.0/elasticsearch-output.html#indices-option-es) output setting. It allows you to configure different indices depending on some condition, for example you could do something like this in your case to have a different index for apache module:

```auto
output.elasticsearch:
  hosts: ["elastic1:9200", "elastic2:9200"]
  indices:
    - index: "filebeat-%{[agent.version]}-apache-%{+yyyy.MM.dd}"
      when.equals:
        event.module: "apache"
    - default: "filebeat-%{[agent.version]}-%{+yyyy.MM.dd}"

```

Notice that here I try to keep the default prefixes, this way the defailt patterns for the index mappings (`filebeat-%{[agent.version]}-*`) and the dashboard (`filebeat-*`) should work and you wouldn't need to modify these setup settings.
