Hi,
I installed filebeat on client server. And used the following guide to start filebeat with apache2 module: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/5.3/filebeat-modules-quickstart.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/5.3/filebeat-modules-quickstart.html)
I used the default settings for .json files filebeat.template-es2x.json and filebeat.template.json.
I updated my filebeat.yml to the following:
#========================== Modules configuration ============================
filebeat.modules:
#------------------------------- Apache2 Module ------------------------------
- module: apache2
# Access logs
access:
enabled: true
var.paths: ["/var/log/apache2/access.log"]
error:
enabled: true
var.paths: ["/var/log/apache2/error.log"]
# Set custom paths for the log files. If left empty,
# Filebeat will choose the paths depending on your OS.
# var.paths: ["/var/logs/httpd"]
I am using the following command to start my filebeat:
nohup /usr/share/filebeat/bin/filebeat -e -modules=apache2 -setup &
Filebeat starts fine but I cant see any apache information in my Kibana. The article suggests it would show up in Kibana. I am not seeing any errors in my logs. Can anyone please help? Thanks.

Filebeat modules use an ingest pipeline to parse the data, so Elasticsearch 5.x or higher will be required.
