Can't discover created logs in Kibana

[Ryukote]

Hello,

I am relatively new to ELK, so I am probably missing something trivial.
I have run Elasticsearch and Kibana via Docker and I have placed FileBeat inside application container where I am writing logs. The problem is that I can't find my logs inside Kibana and I am sure that my filebeat.yml config file is correct.

This is how config file looks:

  filebeat.config:
  prospectors:
    path: ${path.config}/prospectors.d/*.yml
    reload.enabled: false
  modules:
    path: ${path.config}/modules.d/*.yml
    reload.enabled: false

processors:
- add_cloud_metadata:

output.elasticsearch:
  hosts: ['elasticsearch:9200']
  username: elastic
  password: changeme

filebeat.inputs:
- type: log
  enabled: true
  paths:
  - /var/log/*.log

And I am using Serilog (.NET Core) to write logs on the /var/log/ directory.
When I enter container and go to /var/log I can see my log there, but for some reason, Kibana is not discovering that log.

Does anyone have a clue what am I missing?

Hi, have you set up all the necessary Kibana items, such as index patterns? The documentation has an easy setup command you can use: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/load-kibana-dashboards.html
