Currently my logstash input is listening to filebeat on port XXXX,my requirement is to collect log data only from a particular hosts(let's say only from Webservers). I dont want to modify the filebeat configuration directly on to the servers but I want allow only the webservers logs to listen in.

Could anyone suggest how to configure the logstash in this scenario? Following is mylogstash input configuration.

```auto
input {
  beats {
    port => 50XX
  }
}

```

Hi Badger, Thanks a ton!! Got it, It was a miss from my end on the CSV file side. Finally I am able to sort it 🙂
