Is the official filebeats input compatible?

[TateDeng]

I mean since the file input is deprecated, is the official filebeats compatible as an input which we can configure in yaml or json directly and then maybe configure kafka as an output?

even more, can we run another gogstash instance to use kafka as an input and es as an output in the meanwhile?

You could use input/beats to receive filebeat, metricbeat or other beats events.

#80 has previous version gogstash configuration for beats input.

What's more, Kafka input or output not support currently.

Thanks for the kindly reply, however, I am afraid that I couldn't fully understand it. You mean configure filebeat as input like this so that the gogstash would be the output of filebeat as logstash did? **_input:

• type: beats port: 5044 reuseport: true host: 0.0.0.0 ssl: false_**

Per my understanding, this seems to be a HTTP input, how would that work?

It should work with filebeat, just configure the filebeat logstash output endpoint to gogstash instance's input/beats will be fine.

Thanks for the explanation, I will have a try later, really appreciate for your help.
