I want to ship logs from on premise servers to Amazon Kinesis Steams using Filebeat .
I don't intend to use logstash as i don't have any prior transformation .
Is it possible to connect to Kinesis Streams Directly ?

You'd need to fork filebeat and add the code yourself.
If you do, I am sure a PR would be appreciated 🙂

@Rinin For outputs have a look at the discussions here: [https://github.com/elastic/beats/pull/1525#issuecomment-217651768](https://github.com/elastic/beats/pull/1525#issuecomment-217651768) This comment will also give you some hints on how to create your own output without having to run a fork of the complete beats project.
