You can either [use a curl](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/getting-started.html#add-single-document) to post your data, or logs watcher result in a file and configure a filebeat to watch it.

If you wanna script you can just do a POST request with the endpoint provided in the link above.  
If you to try want the agent method, [here's the start](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-installation-configuration.html)
