Hello,
I would like to ask, if its possible to pass file input plugin output in a new\_input\_plugin. I mean like output of the file input plugin, will be the input of another input plugin.
As an example,
Read logs from path with file input and send all lines to new\_input\_plugin. Note : I don't want to work with filter plugin cause my aim is processing all logs in once, not working with events
> input{
> file {
> path =\> ""
> }
> new\_input\_plugin{
>
> ```
> }
> }
>
> ```
