@mcandre,

Worth checking out : [https://github.com/raboof/beats-output-http](https://github.com/raboof/beats-output-http). It does exactly what you're looking for.

Also, see this discussion for more context around the http output plugin : [Output beat events as plain HTTP POST](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/output-beat-events-as-plain-http-post/57923)
