Describe the enhancement:
I would like to have a better segregated logging in filebeat, metricbeat,... per module/input/output
Describe a specific use case for the enhancement or feature:
Sometimes it happens that we have more complex filebeat configuration files with lots of enabled inputs and lots of enabled modules it can sometimes get very tricky even with enabled DEBUG logging to turn down certain issues where they are really located when it comes to logical configuration issues
Looking away to logstash there are really helpful tools for troubleshooting this.

Now having this said, can't we have a similar functionality in the beats logs, that tell when something happened in an input/output/processor/module which one really was it?
Can we separate these log files per input/output/module as well. I think that should help for such issues to take the burden a little bit away from troubleshooting knowing exactly where certain things are happening?
