Hey everyone i have a java application and i wanna visualise her logs with kibana but i dont wanna read those files with filebeat and send them to logstash

The application is on the same machine as the Logstash service? If it is, you can use the file input plugin in logstash.

input {
    file {
        path => "/your/application/logfile.log"
        type => "type-name"      
    }
}

And then, if you need, you can parse the log lines in the filter block of the pipeline.
