Is it possible to send heartbeat logs to multiple topics in kafka based on a condition if a field exists or not? I want to send the logs to multiple topics in case the machine being pinged is down. The reason being that it would be easier to look into the downtime without having to go over the entire logs. ---

I believe you'd need to route through logstash first to do this, but while I am a heartbeat expert I know very little about Kafka. ---
