I want to ingest 2 different log files from filebeat to logstash. I have the below configuration for filebeat. I am using 6.3 version of ELK so don't worry about the path of file. Filebeat will take `C:\data\log\eis.log`. I also tried with different combination of paths like

```
 paths:
        - C:\data\log\eis.log, C:\data\log\sa.log 

```

Below is a complete configuration kindly help.

```
    filebeat.config.modules:
      path: ${path.config}/modules.d/*.yml
      reload.enabled: false

    setup.template.settings:
      index.number_of_shards: 0

    filebeat.inputs:

    - type: log
      enabled: true
      paths:
        - C:\data\log\eis.log
      fields: {log_type: eis}

    - type: log
      enabled: true
      paths:
        - C:\data\log\sa.log
      fields: {log_type: sa}
     
    output.file:
       path: "c:/var/"
       filename: "filebeat.log"

```

I have already asked this question in this forum without much success at [Multiple input configuration](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/multiple-input-configuration/143299). So experts please take a look.

The file `sa.log` was saved as `sa.txt.log` I spent a whole half a day just to figure out this ...
