Well test it out... Let us know... Are you using standalone or fleet managed? It's not really the approach I'm taking... What I gave you is a manageable scalable approach... Which can literally be set up in about 5 minutes and then start testing... You can test the ingest pipeline using the \_simulate API too... I find debugging the agent.yml much harder than just the custom pipelines... That said, there's always more than one way to do things.. I think it may be possible but your syntax is most likely not correct... I don't know what the correct syntax would be off hand I do think there's a conditional pipeline but it needs to go with an index or something to that effect. What affect that has on the Data Stream Name I am not sure... It's using filebeat somewhat under the covers.... > [@Conditional index + pipeline in output?](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/conditional-index-pipeline-in-output/138163): > > I noticed [here](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/conditional-filebeat-output-based-on-document-type/117233) that you can do conditional selection of indices in the output. I was trying to carry that over to also use a specific pipeline when sending to that index as well. Here's what I have; output.elasticsearch: hosts: ["http://192.168.1.199:9206"] index: "filebeat-%{[beat.version]}-%{+yyyy.MM}" indices: - index: "filebeat-pihole-%{[beat.version]}-%{+yyyy.MM}" pipeline: pihole-logging when.contains: message: "dnsmasq" I am getting this Exiting: error l… Maybe look at this. --- _[View the full topic](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/sending-data-to-new-data-stream-with-elastic-agent/353926)._
