If I understand your question correctly, then [this](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/logstash-errors-after-upgrading-to-filebeat-6-3-0/135984/7?u=badger) might solve your problem.

Alternatively, you can make the output conditional

```
output {
    if [data from lumberjack] {
        file {
            path => "one thing"
        }
    } else {
        file {
            path => "a different thing"
        }
    }
```
