Hi Dimas\_Djs,

I've seen in your config file that you have configured elasticsearch o/p section and above mentione KIBANA. let me clear filebeat can't send the logs directly to kibana. you have to configure elasticsearch to store the logs and kibana will visualize that logs.

or

If you configure elasticsearch o/p then the port setting is wrong Elasticsearch reserves port 9200-9400.

> [@](#):
>
> output.elasticsearch:
> 
> hosts: ["elk-sprintqoe:81"]

Please check the same and configure accordingly and let me know if you are getting any issue.

Thanks,  
Harsh Bajaj
