Sending logstash logs directly to elasticsearch

Question

Is it possible to send logstash logs directly to elasticsearch?

For example, can i add something to log4j2 file for solve this?

Or may be exists some plugin for visualizing logstash logs?

Logstash 5.1

Upd: For right understanding i mean the logs that logstash create in time of data processing (his logs), not the logs as data.

在咨询了 Elasticsearch 的人后：Logstash 中没有预先构建的功能

Answer 2

Logstash was built to send logs to elasticsearch, so yes, it's quite possible. See the doc .

Once the logs are in elasticsearch, the classic was to visualize them is with kibana , but other products provide overlapping/complementary features.
