Hi,

you mean like sending logs to  exterenel ES or ...
On the left hand site you click on the Logo->System settings->Use a custom Elasticsearch server

Many more options like sending to splunk or external syslog etc. ...and many more are part of the enterprise solution https://www.stamus-networks.com/ .

Regards.

Hello,

you mean you want to send traffic for analyses ?
You just need a switch that is port mirroring capable.
Then you  just direct that traffic to the iface of the machine where SELKS packet capture is set.

is this the only way?
is here a way to capture traffic or logs for a client out of the network?

I don't understand what you mean "out of the network".
You could capture the traffic with a sniffer , for example "tcpdump" and save that traffic to a .pcap file.
After that you copy that file to SELKS and replay to the packet capture iface with "tcpreplay"
But that method is not efficient and really,really time consuming.

Hi ,

You could send any types of logs to SELKS to be stored/used by Elasticsearch.
For that you simply need to ship those to SELKS via filebeat from the destination and set up logstash and its config (in SELKS) appropriately (/etc/logstash/) to receive the logs ( https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/6.8/input-plugins.html )

Hope it helps!
Thanks
