Logs from different sources in single txt file, to be stored in different indices using logstash

Elastic Stack Logstash
1

Hi,

I am having txt file consist of 3 different logs coming from 3 sources collated into single text file.

I want to separate out logs and stored them in a respective index.

Sample Logs-

10/12/2021 8:54:00 AM,MSGID: <..........> Mobile_Number:<.............>Job_no:<...............>User_id:<......> mstrGateWay <..........>
10/12/2021 8:54:03 AM,strDisplay: Message Id  : <..........>Done Date   : <..........>STAT        : <..............>mstrGateWay: <................>

I got this link but still I need to confirm if this use case is possible or not.

Hi @Divyank_Mahalle

Yes it is possible, you will just need to determine the field or fields that will determine which index you want to route your logs to.

Sorting to different indices is a very common use case / pattern.
