Assume i have 3 different systems sending different syslog formats to my server on port 514.

Using filebeat, i want to use modules in conditionals. eg. When a message field contains "pa" use the PANW module, but if the message field contains "something else" use a different module.

I'm not convinced if such routing is possible on the application level. You can configure filebeat inputs to follow different files, ports, but AFAIK there is no multiplexer.
