Hi,

I'm working on a project that collects log files from multiple sources such as s3 and local server.  
For the s3 part, I've connected the Logstash directly to the bucket, and for the local server I'm using Filebeat to transfer the logs for me to Logstash. Also, each source have different log format, so I want to know what is the pros and cons of using single pipeline for such a case, or multiple pipelines.

Thanks,  
Salma
