Hello, I am new to elasticsearch. Our project is: We have 3 servers from which the logs would be taken using filebeat. There will be one machine for alerting. So is it possible to connect filebeat which is on one machine to the machine where elasticsearch is started? If yes, How? Can you please help with this?

You want to run filebeat on the alerting machine and connect it to the elastic instance?
