I think you need to provide a bit more context around your setup and what you are looking to achieve if you want an answer. It is not clear to me what you are asking about as Elasticsearch by default does not pull any files from external servers.

That would depend on how you configure Beats? I still am not sure I understand the question so please elaborate and describe your setup and use case.
