Hello all,

`I have the following configurations:`

```
input {
  beats {
port => "8514"
type => "winlogbeat"
  }
}

output {
    elasticsearch {
            hosts => ["10.192.144.9:9200"]
            manage_template => false
            sniffing => true
            index => "ad-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
    }
}

```

and

```
input {
  beats {
    port => "8513"
    type => "winlogbeat"
   }
}
output {
        elasticsearch {
                hosts => ["10.192.144.9:9200"]
                manage_template => false
                sniffing => true
                index => "sysmon-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
        }
}

```

In kibana I have 2 different index pattern one ad-\* and sysmon-\* but when I see the logs I have sysmon logs with ad logs.

Can someone please tell me why this is happening and how I can fix it?  
Thanks in advance for your help.

Best Regards,  
Pedro Cabral

Logstash concatenates all configuration files in the directory, so unless you use [conditionals](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/6.4/event-dependent-configuration.html) to control the flow or define [multiple pipelines](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/6.4/multiple-pipelines.html), all data will go to all outputs. This has been discussed here a lot, so you should be able to search and find examples if needed.
