Elastic running, Kibana running but now im trying to transform a test.log into Json using Filebeats, but when im running `./filebeat -c filebeat.yml` starts but never ends like if it was a listening service and im not recieving any json output.  
The file `test.log` im using just have 100 lines.  
This is my filebeat config file:  
input:  
\*the folder logstash it's just the folder name there is noting inside but the test.log file

```auto
# ============================== 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.

# filestream is an input for collecting log messages from files.
- type: filestream

  # Unique ID among all inputs, an ID is required.
  id: my-filestream-id

  # Change to true to enable this input configuration.
  enabled: true

  # Paths that should be crawled and fetched. Glob based paths.
  paths:
    - /home/fitbank/logstash/logstash-tutorial.log
    #- c:\programdata\elasticsearch\logs\*

```

output:

```auto
# ---------------------------- Elasticsearch Output ----------------------------
#output.elasticsearch:
  # Array of hosts to connect to.
  #hosts: ["localhost:9200"]

  # Performance preset - one of "balanced", "throughput", "scale",
  # "latency", or "custom".
  preset: balanced

  # Protocol - either `http` (default) or `https`.
  #protocol: "https"

  # Authentication credentials - either API key or username/password.
  #api_key: "id:api_key"
  #username: "elastic"
  #password: "changeme"
output.file:
  path: "/home/fitbank/pruebasLogsBeats"
  filename: filebeat
  #rotate_every_kb: 10000
  #number_of_files: 7
  #permissions: 0600
  #rotate_on_startup: true

```

I don't know where else to go..
