Scenario:

Server1: FileBeat+Logstash

Currently,I have configured Filebeat and ran its service.After that I have configured logstash and ran it which is also working fine.Now both are in running status.r

In logstash.conf I am using beats plugin as input and output is in Another location . let it be "D;//Downloads"

Now which output plugin should I use to check Whether I am receiving events to logstash via filebeat.I don't want to use elasticsearch on same server .I would be using in different server later.

Pls help
