Hi Team, I am using elaticsearch 5.1.1 I would like to track my elasticsearch access logs. I tried with Shield but it is not supported for ES 5.X. Please give some suggestions how to get my elasticsearch access logs in my /var/log/elasticsearch/ path. ES version: 5.1.1 JDK: 1.8 OS: Ubuntu 16.04 Regards, Raja ---

Hi, What you require here is Sheild which is now called Security. This comes with X-Pack. The auditing you desire to enable can be found here: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/auditing.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/auditing.html) If I misunderstood the query and you actually want to ingest your Elasticsearch logs into Elasticsearch, do confirm. ---
