Hi,

is it possible to ship data from filebeat to Active MQ?  
ActiveMQ is already used in our system environment and we have some knowledge about it.

Kafka as broker would be new terrain for us, so I am interested if we can use activemq as broker between filebeat and logstash,

Thanks, Andreas

Filebeat does not have an activemq output.

The short answer is it's not planned to add more outputs for now. For more details have a look on this thread here which is related to RabbitMQ but the same applies here: [https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/581#issuecomment-345084702](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/581#issuecomment-345084702)
