I'm new to ELK stack and have the following use case to achieve..

I have an existing environment where some 100 odd servers sends an application log to a ActiveMQ queue on a Central Server.

I need to send data from this Central Server(Data in ActiveMQ quque) to a Logstash server. How can I do it? Also how to write an Custom parser for my application logs?

Thanks in advance.

As this is unrelated to Filebeat I suggest you edit your post and move it to the Logstash category.

You should be able to use the jmx input for this.

That depends on what the logs look like.

Although I have not used it myself, I believe it should be possible to read data from ActiveMQ using the [stomp input plugin](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-stomp.html).
