[CentOS] CentOS 7 rsyslog and ELK

I asked a similar question about a year ago and didn't get any answers.
So I thought I'd try again.

What do people do to get their syslog messages on CentOS 7 into a
remote ELK stack.  I've tried lots of things involving rsyslog,
filebeat, redis, logstash and so on in lots of different configurations
but nothing really works.

I can get rsyslog to talk directly to logstash (acting as a syslog
server) but the messages don't have facility or severity codes in them
which makes it considerably more difficult to manage the messages.
