Journalbeat + monitoring API

Elastic Stack Beats
1

I am installing Jouralbeat on my server and I see I can specify journalbeat configuration to monitor specific systemd services. I have a house build API, which logs to a unique log file, under /var/log.
Is it possible to configure Journalbeat to collect the logs/output from that specific API? I want to then place them into ElasticSearch.

Any advice appreciated.

For normal log files, use filebeat. We're looking for integration journald support into filebeat as well (still some way to go).
