Hi @Dzious

I pretty much explain exactly how do do this [here](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/configuration-problem/274358/17)

This means using logstash as an aggregation point ... I also discussed that in [this thread](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/help-advice-needed-setting-up-geo-ip-filters-in-an-on-prem-logstash-to-siem-in-elastic-cloud-instance/273593/7)

Example Architecture  
**Many Filebeat(s) -\> Logstash -\> Elasticsearch or Elastic Cloud**

Just substitute winlogbeat with filebeat in the steps.

Also [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/use-ingest-pipelines.html#use-ingest-pipelines) is the reference in the docs
