You can send to different indices based on any of the fields present in the document, so you could do something like the below:
```auto
output.elasticsearch:
index: "default-%{+yyyy.MM.dd}"
indices:
- index: "application-one-%{+yyyy.MM.dd}"
when.equals:
application: "one"
- index: "application-two-%{+yyyy.MM.dd}"
when.equals:
application: "two"
```
Would this work for you?
You can also cut out the middle man on the above and do something like:
```auto
output.elasticsearch:
index: "%{[my-application-field]}-%{+yyyy.MM.dd}"
```

my-application-field is in input section?
```
filebeats.input:
-type: log
fields:
my-application-field: "one"
```
like this?

If there isn't already a field in the log messages that you can use differentiate between the two logs then you can do that, yeah
