I have installed ELK Stack version 5.2.2 in base server and i need to monitor logs from all other servers in my base server or add clusters to base server. How do i do that?

Can we do this without enabling below lines or do we need to enable below lines to fetch logs from other servers?

# Optional SSL. By default is off.

# List of root certificates for HTTPS server verifications

#ssl.certificate\_authorities: ["/etc/pki/root/ca.pem"]

# Certificate for SSL client authentication

#ssl.certificate: "/etc/pki/client/cert.pem"

# Client Certificate Key

#ssl.key: "/etc/pki/client/cert.key"

That's for SSL, not for collecting logs from remote servers.

You may want to look at filebeat and logstash.
