Hi, Everyone I am a newbie to Logstash. I found it very interesting. But currently I am dealing with logging related to .netcore application. Am I right in using Log stash for my logging needs? I am confused after seeing that log stash is used only for server-side logging.

Thanks in advance for the help.

I can't answer your question because I don't know what your logging needs are or what you expect Logstash to do for you.

Hi Magnus!  
Thanks for the reply. I am developing a .netcore desktop application using several third party libraries that log in their own format. So, I am planning to use logstash to bring all those different log files into a single format. I hope this clarifies the question.

Okay, so you want Logstash to multiple log files, rework the messages, and output all log messages in a single format? Sure, Logstash can do that for you.
