i know this might be upteenth time a similar kind of question is asked here , but even after refering all similar threads am not able to conclude what is the problem why my file beat is not harvesting the logs and send to logstash . may be am new to this thats why . but please community people help me in this.
i have a ELK server , and installed file beats in lient machine . beats hasto send log which it is not doing. any help will be greatly appricieated.
How do you know beats is not sending the logs?
Could it be Logstash is not receiving the logs being sent?
You can redirect filebeat logs to stderr with filebeat -e
Also, test filebeat with
filebeat test config
filebeat test output
Please include the following in all your questions.
Filebeat version
Operating System
Configuration
Any supporting information, such as debugging output, that will help us diagnose your problem.
you are rite , beats was sending the logs and logstash for some reason did not listen . but some how figured the problem now. there was a problem in the beats config yml also. under the path section there was only the directory path , i missed to put *.log.
after changing the configration and fxed the 5044 thing in logstash . now we are able to send logs. and logstash is listening. even we are able to see the logs in the kibana "discovery" . but now the problem is , little different . i might need another thread for that.
will tag you there if possible help. thanks a lot for responding..... really
