In this tutorial, you will learn how to create a centralized rsyslog server to store log files from multiple systems and then use Logstash to send This is the how-to i followed to get things working. I however just setup logstash to listen on a port and format the syslog events with json on the client and send directly to logstash. FYI asking for help while show no evidence of attempting to solve the issue on your own. Will likely result in very few replies. ---

That's what my question was. What did you do to setup logstash to listen on a port ? ---

I once again suggest you read the documentation in the link provided in my previous because it answers this very question. I'll gladly help further but when replying please include the configuration file that you're having issues with. ---

Thank you very much. Please read the question carefully before answering. I don't want to repeat but I have to. I have installed Security onion as a VM and ubuntu as another VM. I want to forward SO logs to Ubuntu(logstash) I have installed filebeat and configured it. I have configured logstash on ubuntu aswell. I am already recieving logs from winlogbeat. Just tell me how to configure FIlebeat on SO to send logs to logstash, which is on ubuntu. thank you ... ---
