Hey,
When I should use filebeat apache2 module and when I should use Logstash grok for parsing apache access log? It seems they doing pretty same job.

It depends on your setup. If you have already Logstash in your equation for parsing, LS is probably the right pick. If you only have ES and FB you can start without LS. LS is much more powerful but not all of this is needed to just parse the Apache log.
