Hey folks, just trying to get used to working with the ELK stack, I have set up a small project and got a mock API running, logging to a file, which is tailed by Logstash, and then pushed into Elasticsearch. My next step is I want to put together a small angular app, and I want to pull logs from the client as they would use the app.

What would be some options for me? I hit kind of a mental road block, and before I take some time away from the problem I figured I would drop in and ask around. Maybe someone else has done something similar. Would love to hear your solutions.
