The first idea that comes to mind would be to use collectd'd "csv" plugin, and logstash's "file" input plugin on these CSV files + some basic grok to parse the lines. But you might be more interested by this new plugin (not part of any release yet) which implements collectd's network protocol in logstash: https://github.com/logstash/logstash/blob/master/lib/logstash/inputs/collectd.rb Hope this helps !
