From [Parsing logback log files with filebeat and sending them to Elasticsearch](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/parsing-logback-log-files-with-filebeat-and-sending-them-to-elasticsearch/49302)

> You can use Filebeat to ship the data to Logstash where you can apply a [grok filter](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-filters-grok.html) to parse the log line. Then ship the data to Elasticsearch from Logstash. The Beats documentation has an [example](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/config-filebeat-logstash.html) of how to configure Filebeat to send to [Logstash](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/libbeat/1.2/logstash-installation.html#logstash-setup).
