I will like to split input from UDP into two different output but have no idea how

For example:  
Input A & B =\> Logstash UDP  
Logstash UDP A =\> Output A  
Logstash UDP B =\> Output B

You can use tags to create two pipelines based on conditionals or use the explicit multiple pipelines feature in Logstash ([click here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/6.5/multiple-pipelines.html)).

```auto
input {
udp { tags => 'input_1'}
udp { tags => 'input_2'}

filter {
 if 'input_1' in [tags] {
  do foo
 }
 else {
  do faa
 }
}

```
