# Sending Logs to Logstash Forwarder

The following example tails the `/var/log/test.log` file and forwards every line to a Logstash[ beats input](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-beats.html). To start pushing logs, you need to replace the config file named `filebeat.yml` with the one below and restart Filebeat.

```
filebeat:
  prospectors:
    -
      paths:
        - /var/log/logstash/test.log
        # - c:\logs\test.log
output:
  logstash:
    hosts: ["LOGSTASH_HOST:11111"]
For this to work, Logstash also needs to be configured to accept logs from Filebeat:
input {
  beats {
    port => 11111
  }
}

output {
  elasticsearch {
    # use port 80 for plain HTTP, instead of HTTPS
    hosts => "logsene-receiver.cfxDLA.com"
    # set to false if you don't want to use SSL/HTTPS
    ssl => "true"
    index => "db0461c5-7106-4b3e-b2af-42f20fd95b0f"
    manage_template => false
  }
}
```
