Hi to all,

I had faced 2 question.

Is it possible to send a log file from server and transfer/synchronize to MSSQL Server Management Studio using filebeat?

and is it possible to use filebeat only without using Elasticsearch and Kibana ?

I'm sure if I understand what do you mean. Could you describe this use case?
