I'm new to filebeat and elastic search, I'm trying to ship the iis logs from a remote machine to elastic search. How can we make filebeat to ship all the lines from a log file at time, I see its shipping only one line from each log file. Is there any config I need to make change, i'm using default config file with latest filebeat version

filebeat normally splits the log files by lines and indexes every single line as document in elasticsearch. This way you can search for particular lines in elasticsearch/kibana.
