I have my filebeat connecting to redis where filebeat is in one server and redis in other server.  
I will have to connect to the redis through a proxy.  
Is there any way I can do this?

You can use a SOCKS5 proxy to connect to Redis. [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/redis-output.html#\_proxy\_url\_3](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/redis-output.html#_proxy_url_3)
