Hello, we are considering mapping all the ELB, ALB, CloudFront and API Gateway logs into a single json structure and pushing this for analysis in an ES cluster. is this the right way to go about or should we push each log into a separate index and then pull data out of these from within kibana? any advise is much appreciated ---

Have a look at [ECS](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/ecs/current/index.html), it was built specifically for this type of approach. ---
