Hi Team,

We have requirement of retrieving file logs from multiple remote server .  
Remote server will put the file logs in specific folder location , we need to retrieve those logs and share it in Log stash for further processing .  
The problem is we can not install filebeat on remote servers , so please suggest any solution for this problem.

Thanks and regards,  
Mrunalini Sinnarkar

Maybe NFS or rsync?
