Hello,  
I'm trying to setup a pipeline output based on a dynamic field.  
I found the same question in [Unexpected behavior when accessing field data in a pipeline-to-pipeline configuration](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/unexpected-behavior-when-accessing-field-data-in-a-pipeline-to-pipeline-configuration/184765) but there were no replies.  
Does anybody know if this is supported somehow?

Look at the Distributor pattern section of this document

> **[Pipeline-to-pipeline communication | Logstash Reference \[8.11\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/pipeline-to-pipeline.html#distributor-pattern)**

No, it is not. The pipelines are configured and connected when logstash initializes, the names cannot be dependent on data in the events.
