You will need to pipe that output to somewhere - a file, or even Filebeat's stdin. Then send it to Elasticsearch.

Thanks @warkolm.
There is no way to directly send the output of the batch file to ES instance.
Can we do this using logstash exec input plugin?

You'd need to refer to the documentation for that sorry, I don't know it.
