**we have 2 environment one dev & one prod storing logs in dev path & prod path so how can i have 2 separate index for both of these based on path**

```auto
input {
    stdin{
        type => "stdin-type"
		}
    file{
        type => "json"
        path => ["/var/files/prod/*.log","/var/files/prod/**/*.log"]
        start_position => "beginning"
		tags => "prod"
		} file{
        type => "json"
        path => ["/var/files/dev/*.log","/var/files/dev/**/*.log"]
        start_position => "beginning"
		tags => "dev"
		}	}
filter {
    grok {
        match => {
            "message" => ["%{JSON:payload_raw}"]
        }
        pattern_definitions => {
            "JSON" => "{.*$"
        } }
    json {
        source => "payload_raw"
        target => "payload"
    } mutate {
        remove_field => ["payload_raw","message"]
    } date {
                match => ["[payload][datetime]", "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss,SSS" ]
                target => "@timestamp"
        }}
output {
    stdout {
        codec => rubydebug }
	if tags == "prod"
	{ elasticsearch {
        hosts => "localhost:9200"
		index => "prod-logs" }	}
	if tags == "dev"
	{
    elasticsearch {
        hosts => "localhost:9200"
		index => "dev-logs" }	}}

```

Hello,

Can you explain what you are trying to do and what is not working? You just pasted your configuration without any explanation what is the issue.
