Hi, I use consul in my project so I was happy when I found the consulbeat. > **[GitHub - Pravoru/consulbeat: Push services health checks from consul to elastic](https://github.com/Pravoru/consulbeat)** > > Push services health checks from consul to elastic - GitHub - Pravoru/consulbeat: Push services health checks from consul to elastic I tried to us it together with ES 5.3.1. Unfortunately i can't see that it is doing anything. No index is created and no error in the log. > cat /var/log/consulbeat/consulbeat > 2017-04-24T06:18:00Z INFO Metrics logging every 30s > 2017-04-24T06:18:00Z INFO Loading template enabled.

Can you run consulbeat with debug output enabled? ---

I haven't used this beat myself yet, so no idea about potential configuration errors. But to me it looks like it's not fetching any data or filtering out all data (or let's say an empty batch). The debug message `No events to publish` is written by the libbeat publisher pipeline right after filtering. Either all events have been filtered out, or consulbeat did try to publish an empty batch of events. ---
