Hi, everyone

I would like to know over **which logs** [Module System](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/7.7/filebeat-module-system.html) is able to parse.

In **Filebeat Doc** , it shows an example with **auth.log** and **syslog**. Is it possible to do it with logs as **secure** , **messages** , etc?

From my point of view, it would be better to mention which kind of logs can be used with this module.

Thanks in advance,

Rodrigo 🖖

You can configure filebeat to collect and process all possible log files. In this case, you may need to provide your custom processing pipeline.

Hi, @mtojek

My doubt is **which logs Module Sytem is able to parse**? only **auth.log** and **syslog**?

Thanks in advance,

Regards
