To collect JSON logs, you can configure Filebeat by following these steps:

  1. configuration settings for filebeat
filebeat.inputs:
- type: log
  enabled: true
  paths:
    - /path/to/your/log/file.json

Make sure to replace /path/to/your/log/file.json with the actual path of your JSON log file.

  1. Elasticsearch output
output.elasticsearch:
  hosts: ["your_elasticsearch_host:9200"]

Make sure to replace your_elasticsearch_host with the actual Elasticsearch host.

  1. Save and close the configuration file.
  2. Start or restart the Filebeat service for the configuration changes to take effect.

Based on the above configuration, Filebeat will start monitoring the specified JSON log file and send the logs to Elasticsearch (or other configured output destination).
