Hi All,

Please suggest how to fetch remote machine data to elasticsearch at local system.

Scenario-

Elasticsearch is hosted on one of the boxes & required to fetch similar data from different boxes to create a dashboard for cluster.

Regards,

Use Logstash on each machine (or another shipper like Filebeat) to push the data to ES, either directly or via a Logstash instance on the ES server.
