You can use grok to extract a directory name from a path. Examples are [here](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/adding-a-type-field-dynamically-for-logs/73883/9) and [here](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/extracting-particular-folder-from-the-path-and-adding-that-to-a-field/142277/4). Depending on your versions and ECS compatibility the path of the file will likely be in [path] or, more recently [log][file][path]
