hi  
I have a scenario that my servers will send all their logs to rsyslog server and I want to import them by filebeat to logstash ...  
i have done this but it does not show hostanmes correctly and only shows my syslogservers name and I don't want to import logs to elastic search by rsyslog due to lack of features and dashboard  
I want to install filebeat in one server and have the logs as it would be from servers directly  
can anyone kindly point me to the right direction

Welcome! 😃

Showing us an example of what the log message looks like would help.
