Recommend Filebeat in docs #156

@acchen97

Description

@acchen97

Filebeat is the recommended product for tailing and shipping logs from host servers. We should have a note in the docs around this positioning.

A few features we could mention:

  • Lightweight Go process, no JVM requirement.
  • Load balancing, multi-line demuxing, data filtering
  • Highly scalable, live deployments of thousands of Beats

@dedemorton fyi many users still do use file input with LS instead of Beats though we recommend Filebeat.
