Hi,  
I'm a new to ELK stack. Can anyone advice me for my below doubt.

For example, I have a two apache webserver and I installed filebeat on that and I enabled apache module. Also I configured apache.conf file in logstash. So for now my both apache server logs sent it to one common index that I specified in apache.conf file.

My requirement is how to create the one or more index and pass the apache server logs to particular index instead of common one.  
apache server1 --\> apache.conf (logstash/conf.d)  
apache server1 --\> apache1.conf (logstash/conf.d)

Can anyone please advise this.  
Thanks

Hey @sanjeev1895 and welcome to the community!

You could use the server name from the event as it passes through Logstash as a variable in the Elasticsearch output [similar to how it's shown in the docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-outputs-elasticsearch.html#_writing_to_different_indices_best_practices). This would send each document as it came in from Filebeat to an index with that server name in it.
