I only need to display the Ips that are coming from a remote PFSENSE firewall on kibana but I couldn't do it, can anyone help me?

```
input {
  beats {
    port => 5044
  }
}
```

This is my filter

```
filter{
        dissect { mapping => { "message" => "<%{syslog_pri}>%{[@metadata][ts]}
        %{+[@metadata][ts]} %{+[@metadata][ts]} filterlog: %{restOfLine}" } }
        date { match => ["[@metadata][ts]", "MMM dd HH:mm:ss" ] }
        grok { match => { "restOfLine" => "%{IP:srcIP},%{IP:dstIP}" } }
}
```

This is my output.conf

```
output {
  elasticsearch {
    hosts => ["localhost:9200"]
    manage_template => false
    index => "%{[@metadata][beat]}-%{[@metadata][version]}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
  }

I'm not aware of pfsense being able to send logs as beat-input. I recommend looking at [https://github.com/3ilson/pfelk](https://github.com/3ilson/pfelk) - and further have a look at [https://github.com/3ilson/pfelk/blob/master/install/configuration.md](https://github.com/3ilson/pfelk/blob/master/install/configuration.md)

Using the pfelk at home on my lab-server and with some additional configuration it's doing a great job so far.
