Kindly suggest me how to add the filebeats with the different index names? As of now,I just added two clients, but I am able to view only logs of one client. Logs of filebeat of other client is also fine, its saying its transferring the logs. But on kibana i am unable to view the logs. 018-07-17T12:57:37.794+0530 INFO instance/beat.go:225 Setup Beat: filebeat; Version: 6.3.1 2018-07-17T12:57:37.795+0530 INFO pipeline/module.go:81 Beat name: shekhar-H81M-S 2018-07-17T12:57:37.929+0530 INFO instance/beat.go:315 filebeat start running. 2018-07-17T12:57:37.930+0530 INFO registrar/registrar.go:116 Loading registrar data from /var/lib/filebeat/registry 2018-07-17T12:57:37.930+0530 INFO registrar/registrar.go:127 States Loaded from registrar: 13 2018-07-17T12:57:37.930+0530 WARN beater/filebeat.go:354 Filebeat is unable to load the Ingest Node pipelines for the configured modules because the Elasticsearch output is not configured/enabled.

Couple of questions: Are your two instances of filebeat running from the same host or separate hosts? Which index names are you using? In your screenshot I see the default index name `filebeat-{version}-{date}` being used, and your Kibana is configured with the `filebeat-*` index pattern. If your second filebeat creates indices that don't match this pattern, it is normal that you won't see the events generated by it. ---

Actually I am new to this, I can't get the idea what you are saying! Could you please suggest me of adding two different hosts into the Kibana? Please it's important & emergency. ---

You said you have 2 filebeat clients. Are they running on the same or on separate computers? Please paste the configuration (filebeat.yml) of each individual filebeat. Enclose the configuration in triple backticks like this: ``` content of filebeat.yml ``` ---
