I have a web application hosted on the azure platform, and an ELK stack hosted on a virtual machine, also in azure (same subscription), and I'm struggling to find a way to send logs from the application to logstash.
The web application stores all its files in a storage accessible only via FTP, for which there is no input plugin in logstash.
What do people use to send logs to ELK from web applications? If it works as a virtual machine, I would use NXlog, but this is not possible for a web application.
I also use Log4Net and tried UDP forwarding, which worked on my local ELK stack but not on azure hosting, despite the fact that I was adding a public UDP endpoint.
