Hi Team  
I am New to the filebeat usage. I am trying to fetch logs from azure tenant using o365 module. I am able to get the logs sometimes but sometimes the expected logs are missing. I expect the logs when there is some tenant activity (sharepoint , admininstrative , exchange etc) . At times, the logs do show up . I tried changing the poll\_interval to 30 sec (from default 3 min) with no luck  
I do see activity on status:

You might want to look at `/var/log/filebeat/filebeat.log` to get access to more logs.

I dont see any files in the /var/log/filebeat/  
Also, say I want to collect historical logs (ex: last 1 month). Is there a way I can use filebeat to get older logs?
