Cisco.yml missing from filebeat

Attempting to set up a Cisco switch to send logs to Elastic, but Cisco.yml is missing from /etc/filebeat/modules.d folder. I'm asssuming I did something wrong in the setup, but I'm so new to ELK I don't know where to even look. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi @dave.mc, welcome to the Elastic community forums!

Could you tell us a bit more about how you installed Filebeat? Which Linux distribution are you running, exactly which command(s) did you use to install Filebeat, and what version of Filebeat have you installed?

Also, could you share the contents of your /etc/filebeat/modules.d folder please? That might provide some clues.

Thanks,

Shaunak

Hey Shaunak, running Debian 10 here. Filebeat 7.1.0 (I would assume, due to the file I installed from).

Installation - sudo curl -L -0 https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/beats/filebeat/filebeat-7.1.0-amd64.deb,
then sudo dpkg -i filebeat-7.1.0-amd64.deb.

Ah, this is because the cisco Filebeat module was not available in 7.1.0! It was only available starting 7.2.0.
