## Here are steps I followed to install Filebeats:

1. "C:\Program Files\Filebeat"
2. cd "C:\Program Files\Filebeat"
3. Edited Elastic Cloud section filebeat.yml file to add cloud.id: and cloud.auth:
4. filebeat.exe modules enable suricata
5. I don't really know if anything else is need to edit here.
6. .\filebeat.exe -e test config
7. There were logs that were being generated. So I guess it was working until there.
8. .\filebeat.exe -c filebeat.yml -e -d "\*"
9. .\filebeat.exe setup
10. Start-Service filebeat
11. Checked if the service was running in Get-Service and it was running.
12. When I check that data is received from the Filebeat `suricata` module button I get  
" No Data Was Received"

Can someone tell me where I'm making a mistake ?  
Why can't I ingest data into elastic cloud ?

Where is your Suricata eve.log file located at?

You might need to configure the module with this path. On Windows it's looking in `c:/program files/suricata/log/eve.json` by default. See the [docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/master/filebeat-module-suricata.html#configuring-suricata-module) for details on configuring a path.
