You will have to retrieve them, maybe with the http poller input, then use the ingest plugin in Elasticsearch.  
Logstash cannot do the entire thing natively.

Thanks, yes sketching it out. I see [box.com](http://box.com) has webdav support, so mount the directory and use something like the FSCrawler.
