Is this the right way to give multiple input..because i am not geeting logs on kibana. due to this i have to restart logstash after some interval continuously.

> input {

> }

> input {  
> cloudwatch\_logs {

> }

Only use `input` once.

```
input {
  beats {
    port => 5044
  }
  cloudwatch_logs {
    log_group => ["/aws/rds/instance/trips3m-prod-master/slowquery"]
    region => "us-east-1"
    type=> "rds"
  }
  cloudwatch_logs {
    log_group => ["/aws/rds/instance/trips3m-read-private-new/slowquery"]
    region => "us-east-1"
    type=> "rds_slave"
  }
}

filter {}

output {
  elasticsearch {
    hosts => ["http://0.0.0.0:9200"]
    index => "%{[@metadata][indexname]}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
  }
}

```
