I am using Logstash to load data from a PostgreSQL database to Elasticsearch.
I would like to be able to trigger this process remotely from a different machine.
Is there a way to do that with Logstash by itself, or what is the conventional way to do it ?
Thanks for you help.

No.

SSH to the machine with Logstash and start Logstash?
