Hello,

I need to collect two different logs from the same machine and to forward them to tow different inputs in Graylog.

So I first created those two Beats inputs:

 ![inputs](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/graylog/original/2X/5/5250d101cc68c372244471f7a42ff2d387022303.png)

Then I created this configuration:

 ![config](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/graylog/original/2X/c/c9dd67d182b1a6a285fbb2d81430da8c2915a70f.png)

With two different outputs pointing to my two inputs above (using different ports):

 ![output1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/graylog/original/2X/1/1faef41786ee7411058d035909ae4bd8baacf6bb.png)  
 ![output2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/graylog/original/2X/3/3fe31f66970fa78b4a5983c164c4a373814d2125.png)

And two different configuration’ inputs:

 ![configInput1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/graylog/original/2X/4/4c86da0578870d6e5d7e65a601d97c0d56f16331.png)  
 ![configInput2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/graylog/original/2X/2/200a2a86d8f22a3a2a6d249e084a6cfba315a9c7.png)

The issue is that I’m receiving events (all) in only one input ☹

The generated filebeat is:

 ![filebeat](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/graylog/original/2X/a/abe3e7673237262754d53fcb66263880b2e2e91f.png)

Obviously sidecar does not take in the acount one of the two outputs

I made restart of the collector many times without any result ☹

Please help and many Thanks in advance

Hej,

that is a known issue in the beats framework. For your reference:
