> Hi there, I have modules that ships JSON formatted logs to ELK stack. I'd like to omit logstash, because I don't really need to parse them additionally. I use jsonevent-layout for java and logstashFormatter for python sources. I'd like to send those JSONs over TCP or UDP directly to elasticsearch. Is there any existing appender that does it properly? Greetings
