Hi,

I am planning to read log files from different servers (different hosts) using single Logstash server. Can you please suggest the best way to achieve it.

Note – here all servers are running on Linux.

Thanks,  
NB

I'd use one or more Filebeat instances on each server, shipping to the Logstash instance containing all the filters.
