hi everyone,

I was learning how to create beats this days, and i found out an lsbeat exemple on the documentations, I followed the instruction one by one, and the lsbeat compiled with success. However, when I tried to execute the ./lsbeat it executes but i couldn't view the index on elasticsearch when I go to "localhost:9200/\_cat/indices. can someone help me please .

Hi,

can you try console or file output first (disable elasticsearch output), to verify your beat correctly creates events.

You can enable debug output by starting your beat with `-d '*'`.

Also check the logs for `ERR` messages. Maybe the problem is the connection or template loading?

hi,

Thanks for the response, I tried to do "./lsbeat -d "\*" but the terminal  
doesn't show the debugging.  
thanks

Oh Sorry, you have to use `-e` to print to stderr.

Also -e doesn't work.
