Elastic Stack Beats

I want to use Filebeats as my input plugin with my logstash configuration file so is there any descriptive method which I should follow to achieve. I have downloaded the image of filebeats version 5.6.8 on my VM
But ain't able to configure the same.

Are you trying to use filebeat to replace a running logstash? What kind of logs are you collecting with logstash?

You can find general information about how to run filebeat, including in docker, here: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/seting-up-and-running.html

Yes I want to use filebeats for a running logstash and the logs are basically apache logs and few application logs.

filebeat.prospectors:
input_type:log
paths:
-/logs/app_/.log

output.logstash:
hosts:{"nceapttls13:5044"}

is this correct
