Hi,

What would be the best approach for configuring logstash in an environment where:

- Elasticsearch and Kibana are running in their own kubernetes cluster (deployed with ECK).
- Elasticsearch and Kibana instance is shared between all dev teams.
- Development teams each have their own kubernetes clusters where they run their applications. Each k8s cluster has filebeat installed with automatic kubernetes discovery.

What parameters should I consider to decide if logstash should run on each and every dev team kubernetes cluster OR if I should have logstash configured only in the elasticsearch cluster?
