Every once and a while, I will have some reports delivered via email.

I can copy and paste them into a file. (Which I have no problem doing.)

I was debating having syslog-ng read a file and pipe that into Logstash or having Logstash do the same thing.

This will be a on going "thing" at random times (like 1 per month), for probably ever.

Any suggestions of other methods or syslog-ng/Logstash my best option?
