Hello,

Is it possible in the same filebeat configuration to tell filebeat to send some logs (prospectors) directly to elasticsearch (mysql, nginx) **AND** some other logs to logstash ?

Because some log formats can directly be managed by filebet and elasticsearch, and some others need to have custom Logstash filters before being sent to Elasticsearch.

Thanks

There are some github issues for this ([https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/3120](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/3120)) but this is currently not possible. Our recommendation here is two use 2 instance of Filebeat.
