Hi All,

I want to create a new module in filebeat for data patterns for logs will be different. Need a help what are the pre requistes to create custom modul in order to develop one of our client to analyze IBM Websphere Application server logs.

Or can i copy existing module and rename it and made changes according to new module requirement ?

which is the best one to do?

If we want to create and derive the code logic for my custom module.  
Should i need to learn any programming language ?  
Should i install any IDE tools ?

Note: I'm new to these elastic search, Kibana and Beats. Kindly ignore if i asked silly questions in topic.

Thanks a lot.

Tharun D
