I have a dev elk stack up and running. each service on a diff srv. It currently receives logs from a server that has filbert installed on it and it receives the logs that way.

My question is for sending logs from a device that doest not support filbeat. i.e a FW

Can I send them directly over to logstash server on port 514?  
Do I need a  
/etc/logstash/conf.d/ \*input, \*filter, \*output  
File for this new log source ?

all the docs just talk about filebeat
