I have two different logs format at input so I want to use multiple filebeat yml files and those pointing out to different logstash port  
my logstash configuration is based on these inputs

```auto

filebeat1.yml
	filebeat.inputs:
		- type: log
		enabled: true
		paths:
			- firstPath\*.log
		file_identity.inode_marker.path: /logs/.filebeat-marker
	multiline.pattern: '^[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}'
	multiline.negate: true
	multiline.match: after
	output.logstash:
	hosts: ["localhost:5044"]

filebeat1.yml
	filebeat.inputs:
		- type: log
		enabled: true
		paths:
			- secondPath\*.log
		file_identity.inode_marker.path: /logs/.filebeat-marker
	output.logstash:
	hosts: ["localhost:5045"]

Logstash
input{
	beats {
		port => 5044
		type => "increament_events"
		add_field => { "[@metadata][no_show]" => "elasticsearch_and_solr_id" }
	}
	beats {
		port => 5045
		type => "search_events"
		add_field => { "[@metadata][no_show]" => "elasticsearch_and_solr_id" }
	}
}

```

and filebeat configuration I tried but not got where to write that code

```auto
filebeat.config_dir: ${path.config}/conf/

```
