Hi Team,

I need to pull up the logs using web API; can someone suggest a method by which I could pull up the logs using web api?

Or do I need to write a script and then pull up the logs?

TIA  
Blason R

I mean logs are available like this [https://192.168.5.10/api/WindowsEvent?logDuration=3600](https://192.168.5.10/api/WindowsEvent?logDuration=3600)

And the logs are then available in json format. Hence wondering if any way available where I could pull up the logs directly using that URL?

You could use the `httpjson` input in Filebeat.

Check the [documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-input-httpjson.html) on how to configure it.
