Hi, I have installed into a machine logstash, the problem here is that i want a **tcp** and **udp plugin** to take everithing at port **5.000**.  
I'ts better if I use **rsyslog** for this or the logtash **tcp/udp plugins** will be fine for this??

Thanks MrNerd

You can have a single Logstash instance that listens to both 5000/tcp and 5000/udp, yes.

Thanks for your soon reply @magnusbaeck, and one more question, while logstash listens on those ports its possible to add or delete some lines of the packets im receiving?
