In the 'output' section of my beats.conf I want to send different types of input to different indexes. The 'filter' section lets me pick and choose like so: "if [fileset][module] =~ " --\> is there a way to do this in the 'output' section? Presently I use this format: index =\> "%{[@metadata][beat]}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}" How would I pick off entries from [fileset][module] =~ "auditd" and send those to their own index separate from other filebeat entries? ---

> is there a way to do this in the 'output' section? Yes. It works in exactly the same way as in the filter section. ---
