Hi Group I struggling like H\*\*\* t omake this work I have created an ELK server on Ubuntu 20.04LTS - and would like to monitor both Normal Linux/Windows Server - and allso our PFsense Routers. I'm using the PFELK --\> [GitHub - pfelk/pfelk: pfSense/OPNsense + ELK](https://github.com/pfelk/pfelk) to monitor our PFsense But its like I cannot have both setups running at the same time! and the questions is why Is it that both default uses Filebeat as the data collector - and can not make it work Seperatly If I create an install for normal machines - this work Allso installing pfelk as single install - is working But when I using Both at the same time - I'm only getting information from PFsense - not all other PC - there just no data after the PFelk is installed What is my problem here Thanks in advance P ---

When you are using pfelk and other Filebeat instances, what happens exactly? What is the config setup as and what do the logs of Filebeat show? ---

Well in this case - I'm following this guide --\> [How To Install Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana (Elastic Stack) on Ubuntu 20.04 | DigitalOcean](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-elasticsearch-logstash-and-kibana-elastic-stack-on-ubuntu-20-04) Configured as described in the guide Than all logs files from other machines are sending to the ELK server Then I do the Installation for PFsense - using this guide --\> [GitHub - pfelk/pfelk: pfSense/OPNsense + ELK](https://github.com/pfelk/pfelk) Using the Script for installing. no errors or reinstallation of the packages And then afterwards I'm logging from PFsense - But not from all other machines! My guess is that PFELK overrules the filebeat setup and therefor only see the PFELK solutions Asking about config setup - I haven't done anything else other that what the guides describes. There was data before installing PFelk - in this ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/8/e/8ee17eb0cbdc6505e0133361ea01f2bdac482cbf.png) After installing PFELK it'll just show the above image - and no data are getting to the ELK server from Servers a Restart of filebeat gives me this logfile: > **[Jun 17 08:21:08 app-srv06 filebeat\[2304\]:...](https://pastebin.com/w46UMtL9)** > > Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time. It'll shoiw active status when using systemctl The exact thing that goes wrong - is when I'm using their automatic installation, All indexes setup before runnign the script - and trhen just showing no information are noticed for filebeat index! But I not sure where this error are created -. Which files would you like to see - since I'm getting lost when I look through the fiules and which configuration are you interested in ---

I had a look at [pfelk/ubuntu.md at main · pfelk/pfelk · GitHub](https://github.com/pfelk/pfelk/blob/main/install/ubuntu.md), as the install script is a bit much to pull apart, and it does overwrite things in Logstash and Kibana, so it's likely that is the cause of the issue. ---

So I cannot see where and why it goes wrong - as I see it, So I cannot figure out where the issue is in this setup - but It should be possible to make this work But I cannot figure out why ! ---
