Have a look at this thread here: [How to create a new Beats output?](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/how-to-create-a-new-beats-output/61074/9)

It's a bit outdated as lots of things in the interfaces used changed with 6.0. I would recommend you to have a look at one of the simpler outputs like the file output to see what the minimal interfaces are that are required.
