HI,  
I need to ship logs of my tomcat alongs with my applications logs.  
My application logs and tomcat logs are of different time stamp, There fore I need to write more that one multiline patterns in the filebeat prospector.

How could I ship logs from the same filebeat to logstash.

Any suggestion would be helpful.

Thanks,

I have never tried,  
But you can have multiple patterns on the ingestion pipelines.  
For example, existing Apache pipeline does it:

> <https://github.com/elastic/beats/blob/master/filebeat/module/apache/access/ingest/default.json#L7-L11>

But multiline setting have to be defined on the filebeat side. For that, I guess you will need to find settings, which works for both App and Tomcat

Hi thanks for the response, but I am comfortable on the ingestion side, i am facing blocker on the filebeat side, if i could add mulitple multiline pattern. ;(

Any example of the same would be much appreciable.
