Hello,

I am trying to view custom logs on elastic cloud on kubernetes using an elastic agent. This is my configuration and I cannot view data on elasticsearch. Elasticsearch and Kibana are running normally and I get metricbeat and filebeat metrics and logs via this elastic agent:

apiVersion: [agent.k8s.elastic.co/v1alpha1](http://agent.k8s.elastic.co/v1alpha1)  
kind: Agent  
metadata:  
name: elastic-agent  
spec:  
version: 8.7.0  
elasticsearchRefs:

- name: elasticsearch  
daemonSet:  
podTemplate:  
spec:  
securityContext:  
runAsUser: 0  
config:  
inputs:
  - name: log  
version: latest  
type: logfile  
enabled: true  
use\_output: default  
meta:  
package:  
name: switch-log  
version: latest  
data\_stream:  
streams:  
data\_stream:  
dataset: sw02.log

Hi Nada,

Are you seeing any errors in the logs at all?

Hello Carly, I am seeing normal logs from filestream but not from this specific logfile I had specified.

Thanks for confirming. When you run the `setup` command did you see any errors for this file? Have you also checked the file permissions of this logfile to ensure the beat can access the file?
