Hi,

I have configured ELK stack successfully and I am able to view the data in Kibana.

Now I want to store the events based on different types.

EX: localhost:9200/logstash-2015.11.13/httpd/app1/  
localhost:9200/logstash-2015.11.13/httpd/app2/

localhost:9200/logstash-2015.11.13/tomcat/app1/module1/  
localhost:9200/logstash-2015.11.13/tomcat/app1/modue2/

Document types only have a single level inside ES, but you could still create an implicit hierarchy by using e.g. hyphen or underscore in your type names.
