Continuing the discussion from [About the Beats category](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-beats-category/1067/2): > [@About the Beats category](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-beats-category/1067/2): > > is there any link to download FileBeat. I want to explore FileBeat to scrap the log file FileBeat doesn't exist yet. It will be the successor of the [logstash-forwarder](https://github.com/elastic/logstash-forwarder) and our plan is to start from that code base and improved on it. So you can start using logstash-forwarder today and let us know where it doesn't fit your needs. ---

So I was just wondering about FileBeat and found this topic. If FileBeat will be based on LSF, maybe some mention of that should be placed on the Logstash roadmap? ---

Yes, we'll be updating the Logstash Roadmap shortly 🙂 ---
