Please don't use such long subjects, make it a summary of your problem rather than part of the question. Otherwise it's hard for other people to follow and provide help

This is a too wide question.

• Why do you want to use logstash for?
• Did you look at filebeat yet?

Anyway, if you want to it, have a look at the file-input-plugin of logstash: File input plugin | Logstash Reference [8.11] | Elastic
