This question is more about Logstash than Elasticsearch so I suggest you instead ask the question on the logstash-users mailing list. [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/logstash-users](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/logstash-users) Also, there are _many_ tutorials that describe the setup of the ELK stack, including one on the Logstash web site (below). I think you should read some of what's already available. With more knowledge you'll be able to ask better and less open-ended questions. > **[Getting Started with Logstash | Logstash Reference \[8.11\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/getting-started-with-logstash.html)** -- Magnus Bäck | Software Engineer, Development Tools [magnus.back@sonymobile.com](mailto:magnus.back@sonymobile.com) | Sony Mobile Communications -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
