Solution

  • I'd suggest you to use filebeat. A tool by the creators of logstash that allow you to send logs from one server to another with logstash or elasticsearch. The application is very lightweight and simple to configure.

    Here is an example configuration that sends the content of /path/to/your/logfile.log to a logstash server name logstashserver:

    filebeat:
  prospectors:
    -
      paths:
        - /path/to/your/logfile.log
      input_type: log
  registry_file: /var/lib/filebeat/registry

output:
  logstash:
    hosts: ["logstashserver:5043"]

shipper:
logging:
  files:
    rotateeverybytes: 10485760 # = 10MB
