Hello,

I am ELK cluster v8 with filebeat v8.1.0 ot ship application logs.  
I have 2 different indices one for proxy and the other for owa.

The name of the indices are:

- filebeat-8.1.0 for proxy logs
- filebeat-8.1.0-owa for owa logs

logs config:

```auto
if [type] == "filebeat" {
elasticsearch {
       hosts => [" "]
       cacert => ' '
       user => "elas"
       password => ""
       index => "filebeat-8.1.0"
       action => "create"
}
}

```

```auto
else if [type] == "owa"
elasticsearch {
         hosts => [" "]
         cacert => ' '
         user => "elas"
         password => " "
          index => "filebeat-8.1.0-owa"
          action => "create"
}
}

```

The owa filebeat is writting to proxy filebeat but not vice versa.

dataviews:  
filebeat-\*  
filebeat-8.1.0-owa\*

is it related to the index name that is considering filebeat-8.1.0-owa is being a sub of filebeat-\*

how to solve this issue and let each one write to its own index.

Thanks,

---
