Hi,

Is it possible to have separate log file for each logstash pipeline? We have a number of pipelines on single node and debugging is cumbersome if not impossible at times, because one of pipelines makes so much noise in log file, that nothing else is readable.

We are on `6.4.0` version now.

Thanks,  
Peter

I was looking for something like that as well but haven't been able to find anything.  
Maybe if you play around with the log4j2 settings you'll be able to come up with a solution.  
Try:
