To set up multiple collection tasks, you need to follow these steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Open the Filebeat configuration file filebeat.yml.<\/li>\n
  2. In the filebeat.inputs section, configure the input settings for each data collection task. For example, if you want to configure two log file collection tasks, you can add the following settings:<\/li>\n
  3. Filebeat inputs include two log files, file1.log and file2.log, located at specified paths.<\/li>\n
  4. This will set up two data collection tasks, each of which will monitor a log file.<\/li>\n
  5. Configure additional options for each collection task, such as log parsers, field mappings, etc. You can add these options in each task configuration block under filebeat.inputs.<\/li>\n
  6. Save and close the configuration file.<\/li>\n
  7. Start or restart the Filebeat service.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In this way, Filebeat will run multiple collection tasks simultaneously, with each task independently monitoring and collecting specified log files.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
