OS used is as follows:
Version:Macbook OSX
Operating System: 10.10.5
filebeat-1.2.3-darwin is version am using with logstash-2.3.4 and elasticsearch-2.4.0 with kibana-4.6.0
I got the configuration for filebeat going for logstash and filebeat.yml as follows. The biggest issue is that the log file is locked by filebeat process and am not able to edit it. How do I control this ? Please help, i have tried this for over 3hrs now 
input{
beats{
port=>5044
}
}
output{
kafka{
topic_id=> "accesslogs"
}
elasticsearch{
hosts => ["localhost:9200"]
}
}
