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}" } }
```
