To anyone interested the below is my working config now.

conf.d/to\_confluent.conf

```auto
input {
  beats {
    port => 5044
    client_inactivity_timeout => 300
  }
}

```

filebeat.yml

```auto
filebeat.inputs:
- type: filestream
  id: access-logs
  enabled: true
  paths:
    - /mnt/*/log/access.log

  prospector.scanner.fingerprint:
    enabled: true
    offset: 0
    length: 64
  file_identity.fingerprint: ~
  clean_removed: false

processors:
  - add_host_metadata:
      when.not.contains.tags: forwarded

output.logstash:
