**Elasticsearch version** :  
6.8.4  
**APM Server version** :  
7.6.0  
**Original install method (e.g. download page, yum, deb, from source, etc.) and version**:  
Download page  
**Is there anything special in your setup?** For example, are you using the Logstash or Kafka outputs? Are you using a load balancer in front of the APM Servers? Have you changed index pattern, generated custom templates, changed agent configuration etc.  
No  
**Description of the problem including expected versus actual behavior. Please include screenshots (if relevant)**:  
Does the APM server support multiple elasticsearch IPs configurations in apm-server.yml file so that we can send documents to different elasticsearch servers based on indices conditions.

use-case:  
I have created two different elasticsearch servers and i need to send data to each elasticsearch server based on indices conditions.

apm-server:  
host: 0.0.0.0:8200  
output.elasticsearch:  
hosts:

- 172.31.90.133:9200  
indices:
- index: apm-stacktrace-sj5cm67x\_write  
when.contains:  
labels.\_tag\_profileName: nodejs
- index: apm-stacktrace-1bsdmimn\_write  
when.contains:  
labels.\_tag\_profileName: trace  
password: '123456'  
username: apm  
setup.template.enabled: false

In case this support is not available, will it be available in future. Please let us know.

Hi @bimanarajesh,  
this is not possible when writing directly from APM Server to Elasticsearch.  
For a more complicated routing you can configure the [logstash output](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/server/current/logstash-output.html) in the `apm-server.yml` and then create a logstash pipeline for the [Elasticsearch output](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-outputs-elasticsearch.html).
