I have configured an ELK stack in my local environment by following up the below document (link to the document) > **[How To Install Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana (ELK Stack) on Ubuntu 14.04...](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-elasticsearch-logstash-and-kibana-elk-stack-on-ubuntu-14-04#test-filebeat-installation)** > > In this tutorial, we will go over the installation of the Elasticsearch ELK Stack on Ubuntu 14.04—that is, Elasticsearch 2.2.x, Logstash 2.2.x, and Kibana 4… As per the documentation and per my understanding I have successfully completed the implementation.

> [@Dazith\_Kj](#): > > 2018/04/25 12:02:14.614102 beat.go:168: INFO Init Beat: filebeat; Version: 1.3.1 It seems that you have installed a version of Filebeat that's very old (version 1.3.1 was released Sept. 15, 2016). The current version is [Filebeat 6.2.4](https://www.elastic.co/downloads/beats/filebeat). I highly recommend that you follow the official [Filebeat Getting Started Guide](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-getting-started.html) using the latest version of Filebeat and the Elastic Stack. Another option for trying out the whole Elastic Stack inside of Docker is [elastic/stack-docker](https://github.com/elastic/stack-docker). Just clone the repo and run `docker-compose up`. ---

Thanks, @andrewkroh ! Once we updated the file beat to the said version. This worked like charm! 🙂 ---
