How to configure multiple beats input for various applications?

I am using 2.4.6 graylog and installed collector-sidecar on some another server. For single configuration where only one beat input/output works! but when i add one more beats input it throws one warning but older one is still working.

    ubuntu@ip-172-50-50-52:~$ sudo tail -f /var/log/graylog/collector-sidecar/filebeat

refer below details :slight_smile:

  1. is it not working?
  2. did you read the WARN until the end?

@jan
First configured beats input is working.
Second input is not working and also getting “WARN” →

Filebeat is unable to load the Ingest Node pipelines for the configured modules because the Elasticsearch output is not configured/enabled. If you have already loaded the Ingest Node pipelines or are using Logstash pipelines, you can ignore this warning.

Also, can you please educate me how to fetch multiple application logs through filebeat-collector from same server.

Options:

  1. creating mupliple beats input for one beats output.
  2. seprate collector-configuration for every new application logs.

— SOLVED----

So, I figured out that graylog automatically genrates filebeat configuration when we add additional beats input with same beats output and on same input through graylog collector.
