Hi,  
In advance, sorry for my bad english.  
In order to forward windows event logs to a logstash Server, i use WinlogBeat to do that.  
I would like to know how can i configure winlogbeat agent to push logs on UDP protocol for a specific port. In my case, it's impossible to use TCP.

Thanks for your help

All of the [outputs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/winlogbeat/current/winlogbeat-configuration-details.html) in Beats operate over TCP (except file/console). Logstash has specific [input](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-beats.html) for Beats, but it's over TCP.

Hi andrew,  
Thanks for your reply.  
I would find an other way to use Beats in our environment.
