Is Logstash part of ECK?

How do I add it in?

Is it currently on any dev branches or are there any ways to get edge releases that include it?

I do not see it in stable.

Are there any plans to add it in?

Hey @dbwest,  
Logstash is currently not part of ECK, there is no plan to support it in the short/middle term.

Why isn't Logstash part of ECK? I did just see this:

> **[Should I use Logstash or Elasticsearch ingest nodes?](https://www.elastic.co/blog/should-i-use-logstash-or-elasticsearch-ingest-nodes)**
>
> Unsure about when to use Logstash or Elasticsearch ingest node? This blog post guides you through the things to consider when making that decision.

Is it simply the case that if you use ECK you use Ingest Nodes?

Is there a webinar for ingest nodes similar to the 'Getting Started With Logstash' webinar?
