Send logs from Windows without agent / winlogbeat / filebeat

Hello,

There are a few ways to send data from windows machines to Elasticsearch:

  • Use Winlogbeat
  • Use Filebeat for text log.
  • Use Nxlog to Logstash and to Elasticsearch

The easiest way is Winlogbeat / Filebeat, Is there any specific reason why you don't want to run theses agent on the windows machines?
