HI All!!

I have elk setup running and want to send logs using the http interface from outside (for instance: AKAMAI ) to the elastic search. Please someone let me know any good solution.

Thanks  
Manoj

FYI we’ve renamed ELK to the Elastic Stack, otherwise Beats and APM feel left out! 😉

You could use Logstash for this.

[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-http.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-http.html) should do what you want.
