I am using two filebeat configuration files. One config file is sending to Elasticsearch (filebeat.yml) and the other is sending to Logstash (filebeat2.yml). I chain these two config files with the following command:

```auto
command: ./filebeat -e -c filebeat.yml -c filebeat2.yml -d "publish"

```

But I get this error:

```auto
filebeat | Exiting: error unpacking config data: more than one namespace configured accessing 'output' (source:'filebeat.yml')

```

filebeat.yml

```auto
filebeat.autodiscover:
  providers:
    - type: docker
      templates:
        - condition:
            contains:
              docker.container.image: redis
          config:
            - module: redis
              log:
                input:
                  type: docker
                  containers:
                    path: '/usr/share/filebeat/containers/'
                    stream: 'all'
                    ids:
                      - '${data.docker.container.id}'
output.elasticsearch:
  hosts: 'elasticsearch:9200'
setup.kibana:
  host: 'kibana:5601'

```

filebeat2.yml

```auto
filebeat.inputs:
- type: log
  paths: '/usr/share/filebeat/some-log-files/*'
output.logstash:
  hosts: 'logstash:5044'

```

Using the following filebeat docker image:

```auto
docker.elastic.co/beats/filebeat:6.4.0

```

Is there any way I can chain/trigger filebeat config files that have different outputs or combine them in one config file using one filebeat instance?

Filebeat supports only one output, but you configured 2.

You can run either 2 filebeat instances or route all events via logstash.
