You haven't specified which LS do you have. In case of older versions \<8.x, you can use [collectors](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/monitoring-internal-collection-legacy.html#configure-internal-collectors-legacy).
Newer version should use the [Metricbeat](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/monitoring-with-metricbeat.html) or Elastic Agent.

I would go for MetricBeat, install, enable the logstash-xpack module... just follow the [documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/monitoring-with-metricbeat.html).
EA is heavy, since you don't have everything, MB could be the best option.
