Hello What I want to do: I have multiple programs sending their logs via Filebeat to logstash on one single port (using multiple ports is not an option for me, sorry). The Input shall only work like a switch where I enter the pipeline to be used depending on the fields/tags Filebeat added. The pipelines themselve shall be each in its own file to have them easier maintainable and logically divided. I read [Pipeline-to-Pipeline](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/pipeline-to-pipeline.html) and now I wonder how I have to configure this within central pipeline management. It would be great if someone could provide me a short example. Many thanks in advance ---
