Hi Team,  
My logstash is sending Json log data to below two indexes

1. project-%{environment}-%{type}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}
2. filebeat-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}

PFB my logstash.conf, what condition i should put to stop sending Json log data on filebeat-\* indexes.

I have almost 10 such types, and don't want to use lot of IF/ELSE conditions.

output {  
if [type] == "json-log"  
{  
elasticsearch {  
hosts =\> ["[http://elasticsearch](http://elasticsearch)....:9200"]  
index =\> "project-%{environment}-%{type}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"  
}  
}  
elasticsearch {  
hosts =\> ["[http://elasticsearch](http://elasticsearch).....:9200"]  
index =\> "%{[@metadata][beat]}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"  
}  
}

Thanks & Regards,

---

Perhaps you can tag those events in a uniform way and use that in your conditional. Or use the `in` operator:

```
if [type] in ["type1", "type2", ..., "typeN"] { ...
```

Thanks.  
I found beats are sending "type = random\_logs", i used that to filter.
