I have set up ElasticSearch and am sending Winlogbeat data from my servers and am now trying to send Syslog data from the Sonicwall. I have started Logstash and have configured the Syslog to point to the server. Do I need a conf file to interpret the sonicwall Syslog info? this may be a newbie question but this is the first time I am working with Logstash.

Thanks
