Below is the config I am currently using with logstash to ship logs to the logstash processing servers. I haven't been able to get the below working in the filebeat.yml config on a test centos 7 server (though I imagine it would be the same for centos 6 or 6.5 servers as well). Does anyone know what the filebeat.yml would look like for the below? Please also note I changed the names of the logs and services and such but the point is I don't know the syntax needed to make the below work.

input {

file {  
type =\> "SomeServices"  
add\_field =\> { "index" =\> "test" }  
path =\> ["/opt/apache-tomcat-7.0.59/logs/SomeServices-rolling.log"]  
sincedb\_path =\> "/var/log/logstash/.sincedb\_SomeServices"  
sincedb\_write\_interval =\> 5  
codec =\> multiline {  
pattern =\> "^%{TIMESTAMP\_ISO8601}"  
negate =\> true  
what =\> "previous"  
}  
}

file {  
type =\> "SomeServices-WOW-DM"  
add\_field =\> { "index" =\> "test" }  
path =\> ["/opt/apache-tomcat-7.0.59/logs/SomeServices-WOW-DM-rolling.log"]  
sincedb\_path =\> "/var/log/logstash/.sincedb\_SomeServices-WOW-DM"  
sincedb\_write\_interval =\> 5  
codec =\> multiline {  
pattern =\> "^%{TIMESTAMP\_ISO8601}"  
negate =\> true  
what =\> "previous"  
}  
}

file {  
type =\> "SomeServicesSup"  
add\_field =\> { "index" =\> "test" }  
path =\> ["/opt/apache-tomcat-7.0.59/logs/SomeServicesSup-rolling.log"]  
sincedb\_path =\> "/var/log/logstash/.sincedb\_SomeServicesSup"  
sincedb\_write\_interval =\> 5  
codec =\> multiline {  
pattern =\> "^%{TIMESTAMP\_ISO8601}"  
negate =\> true  
what =\> "previous"  
}  
}

}

Best is to first have a look at the filebeat getting started guide:

[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-configuration.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-configuration.html)

For the multiline stuff, you find more details here:
