The network F5 team export the log via syslog protocol to logstash. I provide the port with below, and get the logs successfully.
```
input {
syslog {
type => syslog
port => 5514
}
}
```
But I want to export the F5 log to redis server first then from Redis to logstash, what do I need adjust? I can't install any third party softwares on F5 (virtual F5), such as logstash-forwarder, logstash shipper, etc.

You need to add an output to Redis, then another instance of LS with a redis input and then an ES output.
Basically you're just splitting things up.
