Hello all,

I am new to Logstash can anyone help me for the following scenario.  
Is it possible to get filename and store it in the variable and processing the different files and storing it in the filename which we already stored in a variable.

For eg: 1. To get the filename in the X - location .  
2. To process the files in the Y - location.  
3. Storing the processed files in the X-location filename.
