Hi Magnus,  
I have a logstash forwarder which sends multiple log files to multiple servers.

There are two log files- application1.log and application2.log

application1.log needs to sent to logstash1 in server1.  
application2.log needs to be sent to logstash2 in server2.  
How can i achieve this in one logstash-forwarder.config.  
There will be two different certificates for server1 and server2.  
How it can be managed through the logstash-forwarder.config.  
Could you please provide an example configuration.

regards  
Dibyananda

LSF has been deprecated.

Please use Filebeat instead - [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/index.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/index.html)

I have already a set up running in production and hence can't do it.  
Can any arrangement be done for the same.

You cannot do this unless you run multiple instances of LSF.
