Hello All ,

We are using same Elastic search instance for storing DEV,TEST and PROD data . My path.data and path.logs .

path.data: G:/DEV/Elastic\_Search\_Data  
path.logs: G:/DEV/Elastic\_Search\_logs

But i am trying to store the data into different paths according to the environment something like below.

if [fields][env] == "DEV" {  
path.data: G:/DEV/Elastic\_Search\_Data  
path.logs: G:/DEV/Elastic\_Search\_logs  
}  
else if [fields][env] == "TEST" {  
path.data: G:/TEST/Elastic\_Search\_Data  
path.logs: G:/TEST/Elastic\_Search\_logs  
}  
else if [fields][env] == "PROD" {  
path.data: G:/PROD/Elastic\_Search\_Data  
path.logs: G:/PROD/Elastic\_Search\_logs  
}  
else  
{  
path.data: G:/SRVRMGR/Elastic\_Search\_Data  
path.logs: G:/SRVRMGR/Elastic\_Search\_logs  
}

But it is not working. Can you please let me know how we can achieve this ?

Thanks and regards  
Saravana S

You should not do that and have separate clusters.

You can't do that. You can start multiple instances and each one will use its own dirs but the same instance can't do that.
