Hi,  
Im trying to index audio/video files to kibana. I am able to get audio in a field by setting Format-URL and type-Audio in index pattern. But i want my logstash to index my audio/video files to kibana.

Logstash and Elasticsearch do not understand binary formatted files, so I am not sure they are the best tools for you.
