Hello,
I am planning to send Kafka logs to a separate ES cluster, [kafka.xxx.com:9200](http://kafka.xxx.com:9200), by the following configuration but unfortunately, it doesn't work.
```
input {
kafka {
bootstrap_servers => "aaa:9092"
topics => ["sales"]
add_field => {"type" => "kafka"}
add_field => {"inputSource" => "kafka"}
add_field => {"inputType" => "sales"}
add_field => {"myIndex" => "kafka-sales"}
}
}
filter {
if [type] == "kafka" {
...
}
output {
if [type] == "kafka" {
elasticsearch {
hosts => ["kafka.xxx.com:9200"]
manage_template => false
index => "logstash-playground-%{myIndex}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
}
} else {
elasticsearch {
hosts => ["log.yyy.com:9200"]
manage_template => false
index => "logstash-playground-%{myIndex}-%{+YYYY.ww}"
}
}
}
```
Please let me know if you see my mistake in the output section of the above-mentioned configuration?

Where is type set to kafka on the events?

Try this:
```
input {
kafka {
bootstrap_servers => "aaa:9092"
topics => ["sales"]
}
}
filter {
if [message] =~ /Message that Kafka Logs will match against/ {
mutate {
add_field => {"type" => "kafka"}
add_field => {"inputSource" => "kafka"}
add_field => {"inputType" => "sales"}
add_field => {"myIndex" => "kafka-sales"}
}
}
output {
if [type] == "kafka" {
elasticsearch {
hosts => ["kafka.xxx.com:9200"]
manage_template => false
index => "logstash-playground-%{myIndex}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
}
} else {
elasticsearch {
hosts => ["log.yyy.com:9200"]
manage_template => false
index => "logstash-playground-%{myIndex}-%{+YYYY.ww}"
}
}
}
```
