Hi All,

Having a bit of an issue with sidecar inputs, but i can’t figure out why. I have two collectors and two tags.

One tag is “windows” and configured to send to an input on port 5045 - this just contains:  
[{‘name’:‘Application’},{‘name’:‘System’}]

One tag is NPS and configured to send to an input on 5055 - this contains:

[{‘name’:‘Security’}]

However, for the server with the NPS and windows tags, they both end up in the same input, rather than going to separate inputs.

Any ideas why?

Definitely a feature enhancement requirement
