It will change with the Agent Version Number I believe... When you update the agent... I believe

Apache does not change that often it is pretty static...

🙂 That is what I described 🙂

You could just create a pipeline that calls other pipelines as shown [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/ingest.html#conditionally-apply-pipelines)...

Your Conditions would be slightly different.

The example is nearly exactly your case

```auto
PUT _ingest/pipeline/one-pipeline-to-rule-them-all
{
  "processors": [
    {
      "pipeline": {
        "description": "If 'service.name' is 'apache_httpd', use 'httpd_pipeline'",
        "if": "ctx.service?.name == 'apache_httpd'",
        "name": "httpd_pipeline"
      }
    },
    {
      "pipeline": {
        "description": "If 'service.name' is 'syslog', use 'syslog_pipeline'",
        "if": "ctx.service?.name == 'syslog'",
        "name": "syslog_pipeline"
      }
    },
    {
      "fail": {
        "description": "If 'service.name' is not 'apache_httpd' or 'syslog', return a failure message",
        "if": "ctx.service?.name != 'apache_httpd' && ctx.service?.name != 'syslog'",
        "message": "This pipeline requires service.name to be either `syslog` or `apache_httpd`"
      }
    }
  ]
}

```
