[IMPORTANT]
|
||
|
|
.Prerequisite
|
||
|
|
To send events to {ls}, you also need to create a {ls} configuration pipeline
|
||
|
|
that listens for incoming Beats connections and indexes the received events into
|
||
|
|
{es}. For more information, see the section about
|
||
|
|
{stack-gs}/get-started-elastic-stack.html#logstash-setup[configuring {ls}] in
|
||
|
|
the {stack} getting started tutorial. Also see the documentation for the
|
||
|
|
{logstash-ref}/plugins-inputs-beats.html[{beats} input] and
|
||
|
|
{logstash-ref}/plugins-outputs-elasticsearch.html[{es} output] plugins.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you want to use {ls} to perform additional processing on the data collected by
|
||
|
|
{beatname_uc}, you need to configure {beatname_uc} to use {ls}.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To do this, you edit the {beatname_uc} configuration file to disable the Elasticsearch
|
||
|
|
output by commenting it out and enable the {ls} output by uncommenting the
|
||
|
|
logstash section:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[source,yaml]
|
||
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
#----------------------------- Logstash output --------------------------------
|
||
|
|
output.logstash:
|
||
|
|
hosts: ["127.0.0.1:5044"]
|
||
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `hosts` option specifies the {ls} server and the port (`5044`) where {ls} is configured to listen for incoming
|
||
|
|
Beats connections.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For this configuration, you must <<load-template-manually,load the index template into Elasticsearch manually>>
|
||
|
|
because the options for auto loading the template are only available for the Elasticsearch output.

TIP: To test your configuration file, change to the directory where the {beatname_uc}
|
||
|
|
binary is installed, and run {beatname_uc} in the foreground with the following
|
||
|
|
options specified: +.\winlogbeat.exe test config -c .\winlogbeat.yml -e+.
