Note : 5555 port will be used for filebeat as logstash output

System / inputs >> select input > Beats > launch input > global tick > titile > port = 5555 > threads =2 > Save

  • Edit /etc/filebeat/filebeat.yml

Output:

Raw/Plaintext TCP

System / inputs >> select input > Raw/Plaintext TCP > launch input > global tick > titile > port = 5551 > threads =2 > Save

for sending Raw/Plaintext TCP

echo "this is log" > /dev/tcp/grelog_server/5551
