Hi Team,
Can filebeat send logs to logstash over https? the https option is there only for shipping logs to elasticsearch but not to logstash, is there a plan to include https output feature to logstash in future?
Thanks and Regards,
Narendra.

Filebeat sends logs to Logstash using the Lumberjack protocol over TCP. You can secure your TCP connection using SSL: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/configuring-ssl-logstash.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/configuring-ssl-logstash.html)
Both Elasticsearch and Logstash are able to communicate securely using SSL. Only the configuration options are different, because they use different protocols.
