Filebeat

Filebeat is one of the most widely-used log shippers for all simple use cases that do not require aggregation. The idea is to keep things simple by forwarding logs to a custom desired backend storage, making it a very lightweight shipper for logs. Due to its simplicity, it is very robust and never misses a beat; that is a line in the log file. If it's interrupted, it resumes from where it left off, which reduces the amount of load once the process is started back up. As it is a lightweight shipper, it would use many of your resources, which makes your instance more efficient.
