This is a pega log monitoring using ELK and File beat.  
I have installed complete ELK stack on one of my ec2 machine, and on my another machine where (Application Server) Pega is installed I have my filebeat for collecting Pega logs. I don't know how to set path for filebeat to collects pega logs in json format, Here how can I change the pega logs into JSON format, I need your help in configuring the Filebeat.yml as I am a very new to this task,
