Hi @karewise_tech Welcome to the community.

That command

sudo filebeat setup

just sets up the all the assets it does not actually start the collection of

Now you actually need to run filebeat...

How did you install, tar.gz .dem or rpm Package?

See the quickstart here

DId you enable the Apache Module first before running setup? See Here for example yours would be the apache module.

Note did you setup the path the the logs correctly so that filebeat can access the apache logs? It has defaults set but if you apache logs are not in the default location it will not find them
