hello all  
i need to configure logstash to listen to incoming logs in a directory. (which will be manually uploaded logs to )  
And to process them and show them in kibana .  
i already have filebeat monitoring running the apps that are running which sending to elasticsearch and then they presented in kibana And i don't what to disturb them .  
All this is Kubernetes  
so i will have something like this

```auto
Upload file to /tmp/log/subdirectorys/* ---> logstash listen and process them , send to -> elasticsearch , send to -> kibana 

```
