# How to Send Logs to Multiple Outputs With Same Match Tags in Fluentd?
To direct logs matching a specific tag to multiple outputs in Fluentd, the [`@type copy` directive](https://docs.fluentd.org/output/copy) can be utilized. Here's an example configuration:
```text
[label /etc/fluent/fluentd.conf]
@type copy
@type file
path /var/log/myapp1
...
...
...
```
The `copy` plugin in Fluentd is designed to duplicate log events and send them to multiple destinations. The `` section within the `` block is where you define and configure the storage output for each duplicated log entry.
Suppose you have a source generating logs:
```text
[label /etc/fluent/fluentd.conf]
@type dummy
dummy '{"timestamp":"2024-01-27T08:33:17","severity":"ERROR"}'
format json
tag mylogs
```
To send these logs to both a file and standard output, you can configure it as follows:
```text
[label /etc/fluent/fluentd.conf]
...
@type copy
@type file
path /var/log/mytestapp
format json
@type stdout
```
When running Fluentd, you will see the logs in the console:
```text
2024-01-28 19:26:29 +0000 [info]: #0 fluentd worker is now running worker=0
2024-01-28 19:26:30.071500553 +0000 mylogs: {"timestamp":"2024-01-27T08:33:17","severity":"ERROR"}
```
Simultaneously, a `/var/log/mytestapp` directory will be created, containing two files:
```text
[output]
buffer..log buffer.b6100691ab4b1f59fcafccef634b0b085.log.meta
```
Viewing the file ending with `.log` will display the log contents:
```text
[label /var/log/mytestapp/buffer..log]
{"timestamp":"2024-01-27T08:33:17","severity":"ERROR"}
```
