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. Go to this page for your version and look at the troubleshooting section [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/6.2/index.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/6.2/index.html) ---

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 🙂 ---
