Hi All, Good afternoon After adding filebeat and auditbeat to my linux host, now I wanted to try out getting details from access point "Aruba IAP-207" . Guidance requested for the any documentation URL which talks about integrating accesspoints to elastic search Any one used "Aruba IAP-207" with elasticseach, requesting for their feedback also thanks Joseph John ---

Hi @Joseph_John, We have [Packetbeat](https://www.elastic.co/products/beats/packetbeat) for monitoring network traffic. You can find the reference materials [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/packetbeat/current/index.html). ---

Hi Kerry, Good morning I read the docs, did not get any idea on how to take the information from the network devices (like cisco, aurba) to elastic search. Was wondering If I had missed some links If you can help me with a example based links for networking devices, please share. thanks Joseph John ---

Hi @Joseph_John, what kind of information do you want to ingest? Does the AP generate syslog logs, for example? Or does it have an API to fetch operational metrics? ---

Thanks Felix this setup is for exploring, I can even start with the basic, like getting the the logs, About the APi, I do not information whether this devices have API, I will check for it Other than API, how else I can take the logs from the device and put it to the ELK thanks Joseph John ---

A common way to get information out of such network devices is to use syslog. As far as I can tell some Aruba devices support sending syslog UDP packets. You could try to set up filebeat with an enabled [syslog input](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-input-syslog.html) on a host and configure your Aruba device to send the syslog [rfc3164](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3164) output to that host. ---

Thanks Felix, I will work on your advice, once done I will update thanks for the advice Joseph John ---
