Can you share some more details? Filbeat version? Config file? Can you run it with `-e -d "*"` options and share the output? ---

please run filebeat in foreground from command line (don't use `/etc/init.d/filebeat`) via `filebeat -c /etc/filebeat/filebeat.yml -v -d '*'`. ---

what are you trying to do? Title states you want to connect to redis (not recommended for filebeat 1.x releases, but 5.x is ok), but logs print errors about writing to Elasticsearch + logstash output seems to be configured too. No redis in log. what you mean by: > After we start the filebeat like this (version is 1.2) the service is not coming to active Sample output given by you is definitely not from filebeat running in foreground as requested. ---
