Am trying to create multiple pipelines beatsPipeline1 and beatsPipeline2 in logstash listening to beats events from same port but getting error saying address in use for second pipeline:

- pipeline.id: beatsPipeline1  
path.config: "/ElasticSearch/newChnages/pipeline\_config/beatsRouter.conf"  
pipeline.workers: 1  
pipeline.batch.size: 500
- pipeline.id: beatsPipeline2  
path.config: "/ElasticSearch/newChnages/pipeline\_config/beatsRouter.conf"  
pipeline.workers: 1  
pipeline.batch.size: 500

beatsRouter.conf:  
input {  
beats {  
port =\> 5044  
}  
} output{.....}

If you want data posted to a beats input to be processed in two different pipelines then use pipeline to pipeline communications with a [forked path pattern](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/pipeline-to-pipeline.html#forked-path-pattern).
