ELK Stack-7.10.0  
Filebeat-7.10.0

I've configured the filebeat output to logstash. From the Kibana-UI, I've configured the logstash pipeline as below.  
Objective: Print the log from filebeat on the stdout

```auto
input {
    beats {
        port => "5044"
        ssl => true
        ssl_certificate_authorities => "/etc/logstash/certs/ca.crt"
        ssl_certificate => "/etc/logstash/certs/wildcard.crt"
        ssl_key => "/etc/logstash/certs/wildcard.p8"
        ssl_verify_mode => "peer"
    }
}

output{
    stdout { }
}

```

I'm not seeing any logs being printed on the console.  
Question: If I print/output the logs from logstash will the stdout logs be in the raw linux log-format (or) will the logs be formatted by filebeat prior to it being passed to logstash?
