Hello @David_Oceans , sorry for the delay on this, it slipped through my notifications.

We had a discussion about this internally, and there should be a way to tackle this.

First I suggest you to have a look at this other discussion, as it seems related: [Send k8s logs with Filebeat to separate indices - #2 by jbury](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/send-k8s-logs-with-filebeat-to-separate-indices/250632/2)

Otherwise this is possible using logstash, between filebeat and Elasticsearch.
