Hello Folks, i would like to ask, i have a lot of textfiels(log files) in one folder, each file has his name , and i matched them all in Logstash , is there any possibility after i matched all those textfiles(log files) to send them and save them in **separately** Output files, that mean each input Log file will be sended into separately Output file. I will be thankful for any Idea. ---

my Log files are all unstructured text Format, they have also all same datatype ".log" but different structure inside, i could match them all , and i could read them all automatically. until now i could send them all to one Output "file.log" . but i need to send each Input Logfile i have to different Output file . no matter if logstash generate them by its self or not. ist that possible ? any Idea? my input , out put look like , input { path =\> "C:/Users/samyo/Desktop/ELK/folder/\*\*.log" tags =\> "log" sincedb\_path =\> "NUL" exclude =\> "_.gz" }} filter {...} output { file { index =\> "%{log}-index" path =\> "C:/Users/samyo/Desktop/ELK/_.%{+YYYY-MM-dd}.log" codec =\> line { format =\> "text: %{message}"} }} ---

any Update or Suggestions will be thankful ? how to save each input logfile to seperate output logfile? i do not want to use the if Condetionals , cause it make no sense when i have a lot of input logfiels,and give each input logfile a type. Any Other Ideas? thanx.. ---

i can read all my input logfiels automatically with this , input { path =\> "C:/Users/samyo/Desktop/ELK/folder/\*\*.log"} but why i can not use the same line for my output , something like this , output { path =\> "C:/Users/samyo/Desktop/ELK/outputfolder/\*\*.log"} Does anyone have an Idea, i will appreciate it ? ---

The file input adds a "path" field to the event. If you want to use the same name in a different directory as the output then you could ``` mutate { add_field => { "filename" => "%{path}" } } mutate { gsub => ["filename", "^.*/", ""] } ``` and then reference that field in the output ``` output { file { path => "/some/path/%{filename}" } } ``` ---

hello Badger , i could not put dynamic inputsfolder path like follow, mutate { add\_field =\> { "textNr1" =\> "%{C:/Users/samyo/Desktop/ELK/inputsfolder/\*\*.log}" } } i want from logstash to go inside my inputsfolder and read all the input logfiles (textNr1, textNr2, textNr3, etc) dynamicly and send each of those to seperat output . until now i could read dynamic all my inputfiles writing **"\*.log"** in my Input path as i wrote in my Input above but send them to **one** output. Because in the output i could put something like **"\*.log"**. And the out put as follow, output { file { path =\> "C:/Users/samyo/Desktop/ELK/%{textNr1}" } } did not work. but this , output { file { path =\> "C:/Users/samyo/Desktop/ELK/textNr1" } } works and created me a file name "textNr1" and puted all my input logfiles from my inputsfolder into this **one** file "textNr1". i want logstash take dynamicly every input textfile like (textNr1) into output (textNr1), and input logfile(textNr2) into output file (textNr2) etc. **how to write more than one output file path??** ---
