Team, Is there any way to read filebeat configuration from an URL?

I want to start filebeat in windows from command line like this

" filebeat.exe --path.config='http://XXXXXX/filebeat.yml' "

Please help me.

This is not possible. What is your end goal here? Are you trying to centralize your filebeat configuration?

Yes. Basically, we want to have central location for all the config files so that we can change the config frequently and reload the filebeat instance.

@sahadevan Its currently not possible today, what we suggest is to take a look at Central Management Which allow you to store a configuration in ES and fetch it from the beats.
