Hello,  
is it possible to create configuration with multiple processors, using same processor name, but different conditions?

I`d like to add tags for specific log files, like all \*.log files must be tagged as "log" but all \*.out files, as "out", same time - access.log I would like to tagg as "access".

Tried to add multiple processors in `filebeat.yml`:

```auto
processors:
- add_tags:
   when:
      contains:
         log.file.path: ".log"
   tags: ["log"]

processors:
- add_tags:
   when:
      contains:
         log.file.path: ".out"
   tags: ["out"]

processors:
- add_tags:
   when:
      contains:
         log.file.path: "access.log"
   tags: ["access"]

```

Unfortunately, looks like only last processor works.

Is it possible to add more than one add\_tags processor in global config?

Hi,

Processors is a list, just list them all in the order you desire them to be executed.

Thank you,  
I realized that my config is incorrect, based on docs, it must be

```auto
processors:
- add_tags:
   when:
      contains:
         log.file.path: ".log"
   tags: ["log"]
- add_tags:
   when:
      contains:
         log.file.path: ".out"
   tags: ["out"]

```
