I'm sorry  
I mean:  
When i have installed logstash on my Server, and I need addional file,packet or topbeat. (on this Server)  
I think it would be comftable to have a logstash Input plugin for packetbeat. (for example)

Use the [beats input](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-beats.html), available in Logstash 2.0 and probably installable in 1.5 too.
