I want to transport the logs using Filebeat on a FreeBSD box to a logstash server over HTTP due to some restrictions Is there a way to use HTTP (port 80)? ---

Hello @akshaynshah this is currently not possible with the current Filebeat outputs, the current way to send data from FB to Logstash is one of the following: - The Logstash output which uses the beats input on the other side. - The Kafka output and the Kafka input on the Logstash side. - The Redis output and the Redis input on the Logstash side. Theses options give us a bit more control over the reliability of the transmission. ---
