hello, i use logback print log in my java application. i want use filebeat to parse my many different log files, which are using different format. but i don't want to ship log to logstash, because it is not lightweight.and many filter will consume many cpu resource.
filebeat can support some filters to parse different log file?

Parsing of logs is not in the scope of Filebeat. There are a few processors, but it is not as powerful as Logstash is.
See available processors: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/master/filtering-and-enhancing-data.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/master/filtering-and-enhancing-data.html)
