Problem with conditional in output definition

[magnusbaeck (Magnus Bäck)]

You can't have conditionals inside the plugin definitions. Do this instead:

if [type] == "metricsets" {
  elasticsearch {
    hosts => "localhost"
    index => "metricbeat-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
  }
} else {
  elasticsearch {
    hosts => "localhost"
    index => "logstash-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
  }
}
