Does logstash filebeat support reading from redis

Elastic Stack Logstash
1

Hi,
I am new to ELK. Have been reading the docs. But was not clear if this use case is supported and what plugin to use?
We have client servers which stores events data in redis. We would like to store these centrally in the elastic search and analyse the log data.

Referring to this link: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/deploying-and-scaling.html

My question is, if i can use filebeat to read the data from redis and forward to beatsinput plugin on the logstash indexer??

Looking at the filebeat config file, the prospectors takes only file paths,
if i have to read from the redis, what should be the file path??

Really appreciate your help!

Thanks,
Divya

No, that doesn't make sense. Filebeat reads files. Logstash can read from Redis directly.

Thanks Magnus for the response.
Could you please point me to some examples of logstash reading from the redis?

Thanks,

Never mind. I was able to read the log data from redis server.
