Hi guys,  
i have logstash (v6) where i am using 2 pipelines, defined like this:

```
- pipeline.id: pipe1
  path.config: "/etc/logstash/conf.d/pipelines/pipe1.conf"
  pipeline.workers: 1
- pipeline.id: pipe2
  path.config: "/etc/logstash/conf.d/pipelines/pipe2.conf"
  pipeline.workers: 1

```

And lets have config in pipe1.conf

```
input {
  syslog {
    port => 514
    type => type1
  }
}

filter {
  if [type] == "type1" { ... }
}

```

And pipe2.conf

```
input {
  syslog {
    port => 515
    type => type2
  }
}

filter {
  if [type] == "type2" { ... }
}

```

Question :

- **Do i need to do inside filter check for type** (if [type] == "type1") ?
- **Are all events, which "enters" "pipe1" through beats listening on port 514 "isolated" from filter in "pipe2"**?

Thank you very much  
Martin
