Hi @Dimas_Djs,

Can you check that the files exist? Also you need to ensure Filebeat can access them:

`/var/log/syslog`  
`/var/log/auth.log`

Best regards

hi @exekias, thank you for your respond bro.  
ive checked syslog path and auth .log path, in its still exist.

here is my filebeat log, i think filebeat can access them since the harvester for  
/var/log/syslog and /var/log/auth.log have been started.

am i right?

Thank you before.  
Regards

That looks correct,

There is an error though, it seems there is some issue writing to the registry file, did you modify default settings or permissions? It seems Filebeat cannot perform some needed operations there.

Can you please report how did you deploy Filebeat, the version and your full `filebeat.yml`?
