Configuration Examples

edit

The examples in this section show you how to build Logstash pipelines that parse data sent collected by Filebeat modules:

Apache 2 Logs

edit

The Logstash pipeline configuration in this example shows how to ship and parse access and error logs collected by the apache2 Filebeat module.
