I have setup the file beat on one of the server and am trying to post the data from apache access log to the elk stack.
I am unable to see the logs in logstash
Thanks

Could you please share your Filebeat configuration formatted using ``? Please also share the debug logs of Filebeat (output of `./filebeat -e -d "*"`).

* * *
filebeat.inputs:
- type: log
enabled: false
paths:
- /var/log/_.log
filebeat.config.modules:
path: ${path.config}/modules.d/_.yml
reload.enabled: false
setup.template.settings:
index.number\_of\_shards: 1
setup.kibana:
host: "_.corporate.ge.com:5601"
output.elasticsearch:
hosts: ["_.corporate.ge.com:9200"]
processors:
- add\_host\_metadata: ~
- add\_cloud\_metadata: ~
logging.level: debug
logging.selectors: ["\*"]
