How can multiple log files be configured in Filebeat?

To configure multiple log files, you can define multiple input sections in the Filebeat configuration file. Each input section represents a log file or a collection of log files.

Here is an example of setting up multiple log files:

filebeat.inputs:
  - type: log
    enabled: true
    paths:
      - /path/to/logfile1.log

  - type: log
    enabled: true
    paths:
      - /path/to/logfile2.log
      - /path/to/logfile3.log

In the example above, we defined two input sections (filebeat.inputs). Each input section has a type field specifying the input type as log, an enabled field to enable or disable that input, and a paths field specifying the paths of the log files to monitor.

You can add more input sections as needed, each section can define a different log file path.

After finishing the configuration, save and restart the Filebeat service, it will start monitoring all the configured log files.
