Hi, I have an ELK cloud server, which is also installed filebeat on it. I am wondering how to config filebeat to listen on another server (e.g. the internal ip: 192.168.xxx.xxx). Which section of filebeat.yml do I modify and how to do that?

cheers

It can only do local files.

I installed filebeat on the dev server, and config logstash as output, specify the hosts to be the dev server, and it works. Now logs generated by dev server can be accessed from the ELK server, and hence on Kibana.
