Hi,  
in my current scenario I have 2 different Redis instances running on the same server.  
I have installed Metricbeat and enabled its module; is there a way to collect data from both instances? should I just put them into `hosts` field contained in `redis.module`?  
is there a way to add a tag to them? for instance, when I get data from instance `A` I want the tag `AAA` while for instance `B` I want the tag `BBB`

thanks

Hi @rschirin,

Yes, you can add multiple hosts into the `hosts` field, and then events will have a different `service.address`, each one with one of the `ip:port`s, like this:

```auto
- module: redis
  hosts: ['localhost:6379', 'localhost:16379']
  ...

```

If you want to add other custom fields then you need to configure multiple modules, something like this:

```auto
- module: redis
  hosts: ['localhost:6379']
  ...
  fields:
    instance: 'AAA'
- module: redis
  hosts: ['localhost:16379']
  ...
  fields:
    instance: 'BBB'

```

Or you can also use the [ECS `service.name` field](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/ecs/1.4/ecs-service.html), that can be set in metricbeat modules like this:

```auto
- module: redis
  hosts: ['localhost:6379']
  ...
  service.name: 'AAA'
- module: redis
  hosts: ['localhost:16379']
  ...
  service.name: 'BBB'

```
