Can Filebeat ship the below type of log files? Or WInlogbeat?

I read that Winlogbeat is a Windows specific log-shipper but I have installed FIlebeat to ship log files from server to linux system with ELK. Can filebeat actually ship these log type files properly? Or is Winlogbeat better?

Hi,

as long as the filebeat configuration meets your needs to deliver logs, you're good to go. Winlogbeat is useful when you want to dive deeper into windows event (e.g. logged by services).
