I was new not ELK, sending logs from multiple beats to single logstash with same tag, but was not able to see all the beats hosts in kibana.
for ex: i was sending 5beats to 1logstash with same tag name. but can see only first beat logs but rest other beats i was not able to see. this was syntax i was using.
input {
beats {
port =\> 5044
tags =\> ["kafka"]
}
output {
if "kafka" in [tags] {
elasticsearch {
action =\> "index"
hosts =\> "elasticsearch:80"
index =\> "kafka"
}
}
