Hi,

I need to map the apache logs under this folder /opt/apache/apache-tomcat-9.0.0.M26/logs/\*.log.

I have change the filebeat.yml like this

filebeat.modules:  
- module: apache2  
access  
enabled: true  
var.paths:/opt/apache/apache-tomcat-9.0.0.M26/logs/\*.log.

Nothing reflected in kibana which is taking logs from /var/log folder instead of /opt/apache/apache-tomcat-9.0.0.M26/logs/\*.log

Please advise.

Did you restart Filebeat?  
Which version are you using?

Please paste your config into a gist to make sure the indentatioon we see is correct.
