Hi,

I have 4 development servers:

- Webserver Apache - Filebeat
- Integration server 1 Java-code - Filebeat
- Integration server 2 Java-code - Filebeat
- Payment server - .Net

And I have one server that runs:

- Logstash
- Elasticsearch
- Kibana

Is it ok to have Logstash on the server that runs Elasticsearch and Kibana, or should it be installed at all my development servers?
