Auditbeat-* index no data showing

I installed and followed the instructions to integrate Auditbeat into Kibana. Configured the yml file to output to my elasticsearch host and kibana. using curl I am able to reach it just fine. It created the dashboard and index in Kibana but I get "No results match your search criteria" I tried changing the time range to last 24 hours and next 24 hours, still nothing. I'm using the free (basic) version of elastic hosted on my Kali Linux Debian VM in Oracle Virtual Box. Using elastic version 8.15.3 as well as auditbeat. I checked the data stream and it has a doc count of 0. The service is running and I've tried restarting it as well.

I did notice that when I run the "auditbeat test config -c /etc/auditbeat/auditbeat.yml" command, I hit "enter" and it just hangs. I've got to CTRL+C to end it because nothing happens when I run that command. I also have the username and password in the yml the same as the elastic username / password with superuser privileges to make things simple for now.

I can provide logs and other info as requested.

Any help appreciated.
