Not an expert on AWS here but if I googled correctly about "aws elb logs elastic stack" I can see that you can store your ELB logs on S3.
Then you can probably use this: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-module-aws.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-module-aws.html)
Specifically [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-module-aws.html#\_elb\_fileset](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-module-aws.html#_elb_fileset)

I just realized that we actually have this: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/functionbeat/7.7/configuration-functionbeat-options.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/functionbeat/7.7/configuration-functionbeat-options.html)
This should help.
