Dear Tem,

I am unable to start filebeat.

Here is my Configuration File:  
#============================= Filebeat modules ===============================

filebeat.config.modules:

# Glob pattern for configuration loading

path: ${path.config}/modules.d/\*.yml

# Set to true to enable config reloading

reload.enabled: false

# Period on which files under path should be checked for changes

#reload.period: 10s

#==================== Elasticsearch template setting ==========================

setup.template.settings:  
index.number\_of\_shards: 1  
#index.codec: best\_compression  
#\_source.enabled: false

#================================ Processors =====================================

# Configure processors to enhance or manipulate events generated by the beat.

processors:

- add\_host\_metadata: ~
- add\_cloud\_metadata: ~  
output.elasticsearch:  
hosts: ["[http://127.0.0.1:9200](http://127.0.0.1:9200)"]  
username: ""  
password: ""  
setup.kibana:  
host: "[http://127.0.0.1:5601](http://127.0.0.1:5601)"  
filebeat.inputs:
- type: log  
enabled: true  
paths:
  - 'D:/ELK/filebeat/logs/_'  
 #- '/var/log/_.log'  
#- C:/Program Files/Elastic/Elasticsearch/7.2.0/logs/\*.log

and I am running with enable logstash.  
and I am running on window-10
