I have metricbeat running on server 1 and filebeat running on server 2 and logstash on server 3.  
Can we read both metric beat and filebeat logs using one logstash ?  
both logs(metric and filebeat) are different and we want to keep logstash output in a different filters applied on it.

Welcome to our community! 😃

Are you looking to do extra processing with Logstash for the Beats traffic?
