Hello, I have installed Elasticsearch, Kibana and Filebeat but not able to see the logs. These are filebeat logs ```auto 2019-01-23T10:07:49.740+1100 INFO instance/beat.go:592 Home path: [C:\Users\hbootwala\Downloads\filebeat-6.5.4-windows-x86_64\filebeat-6.5.4-windows-x86_64] Config path: [C:\Users\hbootwala\Downloads\filebeat-6.5.4-windows-x86_64\filebeat-6.5.4-windows-x86_64] Data path: [C:\Users\hbootwala\Downloads\filebeat-6.5.4-windows-x86_64\filebeat-6.5.4-windows-x86_64\data] Logs path: [C:\Users\hbootwala\Downloads\filebeat-6.5.4-windows-x86_64\filebeat-6.5.4-windows-x86_64\logs] 2019-01-23T10:07:49.745+1100 INFO instance/beat.go:599 Beat UUID: 6349107a-c92b-4ed2-ac23-d7f82878264d 2019-01-23T10:07:49.745+1100 INFO [beat] instance/beat.go:825 Beat info {"system_info": {"beat": {"path": {"config": "C:\\Users\\hbootwala\\Downloads\\filebeat-6.5.4-windows-x86_64\\filebeat-6.5.4-windows-x86_64", "data": "C:\\Users\\hbootwala\\Downloads\\filebeat-6.5.4-windows-x86_64\\filebeat-6.5.4-windows-x86_64\\data", "home": "C:\\Users\\hbootwala\\Downloads\\filebeat-6.5.4-windows-x86_64\\filebeat-6.5.4-windows-x86_64", "logs": "C:\\Users\\hbootwala\\Downloads\\filebeat-6.5.4-windows-x86_64\\filebeat-6.5.4-windows-x86_64\\logs"}, "type": "filebeat", "uuid": "6349107a-c92b-4ed2-ac23-d7f82878264d"}}} 2019-01-23T10:07:49.746+1100 INFO [beat] instance/beat.go:834 Build info {"system_info": {"build": {"commit": "bd8922f1c7e93d12b07e0b3f7d349e17107f7826", "libbeat": "6.5.4", "time": "2018-12-17T20:21:46.000Z", "version": "6.5.4"}}} 2019-01-23T10:07:49.746+1100 INFO [beat] instance/beat.go:837 Go runtime info {"system_info": {"go": {"os":"windows","arch":"amd64","max_procs":8,"version":"go1.10.6"}}} 2019-01-23T10:07:49.762+1100 INFO [beat] instance/beat.go:841 Host info {"system_info": {"host": {"architecture":"x86_64","boot_time":"2019-01-21T09:45:28.66+11:00","name":"HBOOTWALA","ip":["fe80::e14b:dd67:8c14:f70a/64","169.254.247.10/16","fe80::6de6:bf4c:1f2a:7ad8/64","172.16.1.105/20","::1/128","127.0.0.1/8"],"kernel_version":"10.0.17134.523 (WinBuild.160101.0800)","mac":["00:09:0f:fe:00:01","34:e6:d7:00:89:60"],"os":{"family":"windows","platform":"windows","name":"Windows 10 Enterprise","version":"10.0","major":10,"minor":0,"patch":0,"build":"17134.523"},"timezone":"AEDT","timezone_offset_sec":39600,"id":"621a7951-5897-4351-a3ca-bf854449d8e2"}}} 2019-01-23T10:07:49.765+1100 INFO [beat] instance/beat.go:870 Process info {"system_info": {"process": {"cwd": "C:\\Users\\hbootwala\\Downloads\\filebeat-6.5.4-windows-x86_64\\filebeat-6.5.4-windows-x86_64", "exe": "C:\\Users\\hbootwala\\Downloads\\filebeat-6.5.4-windows-x86_64\\filebeat-6.5.4-windows-x86_64\\filebeat.exe", "name": "filebeat.exe", "pid": 4284, "ppid": 34400, "start_time": "2019-01-23T10:07:49.635+1100"}}} 2019-01-23T10:07:49.765+1100 INFO instance/beat.go:278 Setup Beat: filebeat; Version: 6.5.4 2019-01-23T10:07:52.771+1100 INFO add_cloud_metadata/add_cloud_metadata.go:319 add_cloud_metadata: hosting provider type not detected. 2019-01-23T10:07:52.772+1100 INFO elasticsearch/client.go:163 Elasticsearch url: http://localhost:9200 2019-01-23T10:07:52.773+1100 INFO [publisher] pipeline/module.go:110 Beat name: HBOOTWALA 2019-01-23T10:07:52.781+1100 INFO elasticsearch/client.go:163 Elasticsearch url: http://localhost:9200 2019-01-23T10:07:52.861+1100 INFO elasticsearch/client.go:713 Connected to Elasticsearch version 6.5.4 2019-01-23T10:07:52.862+1100 INFO kibana/client.go:118 Kibana url: http://localhost:5601 2019-01-23T10:08:41.976+1100 INFO instance/beat.go:717 Kibana dashboards successfully loaded. ``` This is filebeat.yml ```auto #=========================== Filebeat inputs ============================= filebeat.inputs: # Each - is an input.

Sometimes, filebeat service does not get started via Windows Service panel. But when its running, it gives the same logs as posted above. ---

Please format logs and config file using the `` button in the editor. I don't see any configured input. I assume you want to read from `'C:\Test\*.log'`. Setting `enabled: true` should enable the input. ---

Can see the logs now. Thanx. ---
