Thank you so much for your guidance on this topic, it serve exactly my need. I followed your example and created a new .conf pipeline in my logstash pipeline folder. But I can't figure out where I should store the query_ifIndex_template.json If I store it in the pipeline folder directly, it doesn't work and crash my logstash instance :

[2021-12-30T22:25:23,339][ERROR][logstash.agent ] Failed to execute action {:action=>LogStash::PipelineAction::Create/pipeline_id:main, :exception=>"LogStash::ConfigurationError", :message=>"Expected one of [ \t\r\n], \"#\", \"input\", \"filter\", \"output\" at line 1, column 1 (byte 1)", :backtrace=>["/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/compiler.rb:32:in compile_imperative'", "org/logstash/execution/AbstractPipelineExt.java:187:ininitialize'", "org/logstash/execution/JavaBasePipelineExt.java:72:in initialize'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/java_pipeline.rb:47:ininitialize'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/pipeline_action/create.rb:52:in execute'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/agent.rb:383:inblock in converge_state'"]}

If I put the json somewhere else I have this error :
