How do you want your device to output logs? TCP or syslog? Then review our Logstash inputs for one you feel would work best for you: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/input-plugins.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/input-plugins.html)

Build and idea of the products at hand and how you would like that dat to flow from collection to storage to later visualisation (Kibana)
