And this is my filebeat.yml file-

# ============================== Filebeat inputs ===============================

filebeat.inputs:

# Each - is an input. Most options can be set at the input level, so
# you can use different inputs for various configurations.
# Below are the input specific configurations.

- type: log

  # Change to true to enable this input configuration.

# options here or by using the `setup` command.
#setup.dashboards.enabled: false

# The URL from where to download the dashboards archive. By default this URL

# website.

# =================================== Kibana ===================================

# This requires a Kibana endpoint configuration.
setup.kibana:

  # Kibana Host
  # Scheme and port can be left out and will be set to the default (http and 5601)

  # Kibana Space ID
  # ID of the Kibana Space into which the dashboards should be loaded. By default,

# =============================== Elastic Cloud ================================

# These settings simplify using Filebeat with the Elastic Cloud (https://cloud.elastic.co/).

# ============================= X-Pack Monitoring ==============================

# reporting is disabled by default.

# Set to true to enable the monitoring reporter.
monitoring.enabled: true

And when I run filebeat -e it triggers this error-

You are sending to logstash not to elasticsearch directly. As such you cannot have the index settings configured.

The problem is solved. Thanks anyways

I would love to know how to solve your problem, I removed the index configuration by
#setup.template.settings:
#index.number_of_shards: 1
#index.codec: best_compression
#_source.enabled: false
but my problem is not solved, looking forward to your help. thanks.
