Should it work if I just add a security filters to allow syslog-ng system ? Trying these and so far no luck. https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/5.0/ip-filtering.html <https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/5.0/ip-filtering.html> xpack.security.http.filter.allow: localhost

I know its not officially supported. This is a test system at home running CentOS7, syslog-ng 3.8 from repo and the latest 5.0 ES Stack.
Everything works fine without x-Pack using the http client-mode but x-pack does not appear to be Shield. https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/5.0/security-migration.html#_removed_... <https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/5.0/security-migration.html#_removed_privileges>
Just trying to prepare for when the ES5 stack is GA.
I see, I guess the only thing you need to change is the name of the loaded plugin. Unfortunately this is being hardcoded in the java code [3]. I made a quick attempt at implementing it (it's a hack) [4] feel free to test it.
FWIW I am currently playing with searchguard [1] and succesfully managed to make it work with syslog-ng-3.8.1 [2]. They already have a ES 5.x branch (haven't tested yet).
Cheers
@lbudai: I guess it would make sense to modify `client-mode(transport)` to allow for loading plugins, e.g. by adding a new option `load-plugins("Shield" "Foo" "Bar")`
