Shipping logs to a remote server

Elastic Stack Logstash
#1

How can I ship logs to another remote server and display on kibana dashboard?

I tried to install logstash on the server i want to ship logs from and sent to the server I want to receive the logs on though redis queue...but I do not get any response...not even an error message..

I think the redis approach is not going to work out..Is the anything else I can use that will work to send logs from server 2 to server 1?

Can you provide your configs please.

I have a total of 29 logs..but it is only shipping 15 of them. I am not sure why it's happening. Below is the logstash-shipper file I have created.

input {
file {
path => [ "/path/to/logs/sample.log" ]
type => "syslog"
start_position => "beginning"
sincedb_path => "/dev/null"
ignore_older => 0
}
}

output {
stdout { codec => rubydebug }
redis { host => "10...*" data_type => "list" key => "rediskey" }
}

Are there messages in your redis list?
Do you have another input from redis and then an output into ES?
