Is it possible to use multiple pipelines for Metricbeat like in Logstash ?

I am triyng to collect metrics from multiple PostgreSQL IInstances on same Machine.  
Each Instance belongs to one Application.

I dont want to start multiple Instances of Metricbeat.

Any Idea ?

Many thanks in advance  
Vafa

I assume you're using the `postgresql` module. You can specify multiple values in the module's `hosts` setting and a single instance of Metricbeat will monitor them all. For more information, see [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/metricbeat-module-postgresql.html#\_module\_specific\_configuration\_notes\_10](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/metricbeat-module-postgresql.html#_module_specific_configuration_notes_10).
