Hi,  
Here is the use case that I have some well-formed JSON data such as metrics I'd like to go straight into Elasticsearch, whereas other logs need Logstash pipeline to process then shipping to Elasticsearch.

Sounds like you have to pipe everything through Logstash.

Thoughts?  
Thanks

Correct send the data to Logstash and do the routing from there.

Thanks for replying, and I have to use Logstash for routing.
