I currently have application logs going in to an index through Filebeat, but would like to use the NGINX module to send access and error logs to a seperate instance through the same Filebeat.

I can see how to set the log type for custom logs but cannot work out how to do this for a module.

(Filebeat 7 straight to Elasticsearch)

Thanks
