my config.yml is like this:
```
filebeat.inputs:
- type: log
enabled: true
paths:
- 'D:\1021\*.log'
#scan_frequency: '60s'
#multiline.pattern: '^\[\d{4}\-\d{2}'
#multiline.negate: true
#multiline.match: after
fields:
host: '10.101.222.81'
app: 'selfservice'
sublei: 'csharp'
tail_files: true
#ignore_older: '24h'
filebeat.config.modules:
path: ${path.config}\modules.d\*.yml
reload.enabled: true
setup.template.settings:
index.number_of_shards: 1
setup.kibana:
output.redis:
hosts: '10.101.242.111:6379'
db: 4
timeout: 10
key: 'csharp'
```
in filebeat logs i find output like this:
```
"pipeline": {
"clients": 1,
"events": {
"active": 0,
"filtered": 6,
"total": 6
}
}
```
is this means my log file was filtered, why?

Hi @vincentchao, welcome to the Elastic Community Forums!
What version of Filebeat are you using?
Could you try temporarily changing your `output` from `redis` to [`console`](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/console-output.html) and see if any events are published to STDOUT? Or you might try the [`file`](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/file-output.html) output and see if any events are being collected in the specified file.
Could you also re-run Filebeat with `logging.level: debug` set and post the logs from start up until you see the filtered events log entry you posted earlier?
