Hi, i had setup ELK on one window server successfully and getting logs. I am using winlogbeat for wineventslogs and filebeat to get IIS logs.

Now i want to get logs from multiple servers and the question here is:  
Do i need to install all software (ELK and beats plugins) on each server?

Thanks.

You only need to install beats to ship the data to single Elasticsearch cluster.

Also we’ve renamed ELK to the Elastic Stack, otherwise Beats and APM feel left out! 😉 Check out [https://www.elastic.co/elk-stack](https://www.elastic.co/elk-stack)
