Let me quickly define my Elastic stack.
I'm currently just working with 3 different types of logs coming from 3 different machines.
Goal: I would like to handle all 3 logs w/my current elastic stack. How do I do this?
#1 Log type
Windows event logs: WIndows 10
NXlog sending eventlogs \> Logstash collector \> Redis-server \> Logstash Parser \> Elasticsearch \> Kibana
#2 Log type
Windows application log: Windows server 2012
Filebeat client \> Logstash collector \> Redis-server \> Logstash Parser \> Elasticsearch \> Kibana
#3 Glassfish server logs
GF server sending log to windows machine
Filebeat client \> Logstash collector \> Redis-server \> Logstash Parser \> Elasticsearch \> Kibana

I don't think you are missing anything here.

Joe,
Thanks for the response. So I was curious how to handle my config files on my logstash instance.
Logstash Server Config file.
input {
redis {
host =\> "ip"
type =\> "log"
data\_type =\> "list"
key =\> "logstash"
}
}
input {
tcp {
type =\> "eventlog"
port =\> 3000
codec =\> "json"
}
}
filter {
if [type] == "log" {
grok {
match =\> { "message" =\> "^[%{TIMESTAMP\_ISO8601:timestamp}] [%{DATA:server\_version}] [%{DATA:log\_level}] [%{DATA:unknown}] [%{JAVACLASS:class}] [%{DATA:thread}] [%{DATA:category}] [%{DATA:loglevel}] [[$" }
# add\_field =\> ["received\_at", "%{@timestamp}"]
```
}
```
}
}
output {
elasticsearch
{
hosts =\> ["hosts"]
user =\> "ls\_admin"
password =\> ""
}
stdout { codec =\> rubydebug }
