I was wondering about deploying beats in a segregated network. Is there a way to send beats via HTTP or a simpler protocol than lumberjack (to allow it to pass via an inspection firewall/ASA) .

On a side note is there a way to easily daisy chain beats? i.e. collect from DMZ and send it into trusted network? Or does it have to use logstash to do that kind of thing?

Tnx
