Hi guys,
I have a qustion that might be a little silly. I did lots of Google but I think my issue is completely fundamental because I am ELK newbie 😉 I wounder to know how can I ship the Apache log files to the ELK? Should I install Logstash on each webserver?
Right now I am using Filebeat for some server but I think I cannot use that for sending Apache log files to ELK.
I have the same question for other type of services like: myaql.
Thank you,
Abe
