Hi Terry, I'd recommend using proper log4j (or j.u.l) GELF appender instead of reading the log files with another process like Filebeat, mostly because of the handling of multi-line log messages.
Personally, I like logstash-gelf <http://logging.paluch.biz/>, simply because it covers basically all Java logging frameworks and is well maintained.
