Hi
Use Case: Real time application transactions logs metrics analysis & monitoring
Environment: File Beat (1.0.0-rc2) --\> Log Stash (2.0.0)--\> Elastic Search (2.0.0)--\> Kibana (4.2.1)
Description:
The Filebeat captures all the log entries from the custom application logs files and ships to log stash on a remote server.
Requirement:
Can we configure Filebeat to capture only selected log entries or filter the log entries/lines and ships them to logstash, so that the network traffic would be optimized.
Thanks
Venkatesh M

Hi, this is a planned feature for the next release (1.1). The work on it hasn't started yet, though.
