Hi,

I have few linux nodes which are generating thier own application logs.  
Log types are more likely to apache/tomcat but quite customized.

1. How can I input such application logs to elasticsearch?

2. I want send those logs to eleasticsearch and while sending those logs to elasticsearch, I wanna send them to another centralized log repository. Requirement is, I wanna send those logs to the central log repo without changing the log's source info. (IPs and stuff)

Is there a guide in elasticsearch? can somebody help me please?

Thanks in advance,  
Luke.
