I am needing to ingest the IBM BigFix client logs located at `C:\Program Files (x86)\BigFix Enterprise\BES Client\_BESData\_Global\Logs`. Is there either a Beat module or Logstash plugin which would handle parsing these logs? They are one file per day with metadata at the top and events in lines below. Any thoughts on handling such data would be much appreciated!

Just doing a ping in case anyone out there had an answer...

If there is nothing about it in the documentatin, then there is no native module to parse these logs.
You will need to create a pipeline with logstash or filebeat to parse it.
How does the log looks like? Please share a sample message.
