Exiting: index management requested but the Elasticsearch output is not configured/enabled

[mr_ph (Anand ph)]

Hi, I'm using elk stack 8.5. i want to parse the logs from beats -> logstash -> elasticsearch . But while i use the filebeat setup command i'm getting this error message

Exiting: index management requested but the Elasticsearch output is not configured/enabled.

i'am using different vm's with ubuntu 18.04 server as os.

this is my beats.output conf

------------------------------ Logstash Output -------------------------------

output.logstash:

The Logstash hosts

    hosts: ["http://local host:5044"]

Optional SSL. By default is off.

List of root certificates for HTTPS server verifications

#ssl.certificate_authorities: ["/etc/certs/CA.pem"]

beats.input

filestream is an input for collecting log messages from files.

• type: filestream

  id: my-filestream-id

  enabled: true

  paths:

  • /var/log/*.log
    #- c:\programdata\elasticsearch\logs*

while running this command systemctl status filebeat.service
a warn is there
Filebeat is unable to load the ingest pipelines for the configured modules because the Elasticsearch output is not configured/enabled. If you have already loaded the ingest pipelines or are using Logstash pipelines, you can ignore this warning

The status is running.. and telnet is made from beats to logstash.

any solution or clarifications about the error.
