Say, There is a server with high audit events and when auditbeat reads this events and pushes it as output, does it compresses the data to save network? The output data compression is a feature which rsyslog provides well. Does auditbeat has any such compression option? ---

Hi, All beats have compression features on their output config. (except redis I think): [elasticsearch](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/auditbeat/current/elasticsearch-output.html#_literal_compression_level_literal) [logstash](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/auditbeat/current/logstash-output.html#_literal_compression_level_literal_2) ---
