I get JSON document to logstash. I write them to elasticsearch (it is log data).
I'm wondering If I can write these documents to several elasticsearch indeces.
I'd like to write the whole documents to one index, and only certain fields to another.
Example:
> { user\_id : 12, user\_data: {some\_object}, timestamp: 123131323 }
> To first index goes all fields (as it does right know).
> To second index goes only user\_id and timestamp fields .
Is it possible ? Example of logstash.conf would be really great.

You will need to clone the events, then drop fields as appropriate and finally send them to their appropriate indices.
