Configure logstash for the Beats Plugin in logstash.yml

Elastic Stack Logstash
1

Hi, I am trying to configure logstash for filebeat and the beats plugin in logstash.yml. I have already done this with the logstash.conf file and it works fine. I have not seen an example of this in logstash.yml after extensive searching. I am using Elasticsearch version 2.4. It is a simple configuration like so in logstash.conf:

input {
beats {
port => 5044
}
}

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Robert

Hello. Indeed nothing is required in logstash.yml . You just need to configure the beats input in logstash.conf just as the sample you provided.
