Hi,  
I'm using this ELK stack:

> **[deviantony/docker-elk](https://github.com/deviantony/docker-elk)**
>
> The Elastic stack (ELK) powered by Docker and Compose. - deviantony/docker-elk

It all works perfectly with default dashboards if I send logs from filebeat and metricbeat directly to elastic.  
`filebeat -> elastic -> kibana`  
`metricbeat -> elastic -> kibana`

now I want also custom logs sending from filebeat so I set up:  
`filebeat -> logstash -> elastic -> kibana`  
I also changed metricbeat to send via logstash  
`metricbeat -> logstash -> elastic -> kibana`

I defined pipeline:

```auto
input {
        beats {
            port => 5044
        }
}
output {
	elasticsearch {
		hosts => "elasticsearch:9200"
		manage_template => false
		index => "%{[@metadata][beat]}-%{[@metadata][version]}"
		document_type => "%{[@metadata][type]}"
		user => "elastic"
		password => "changeme"
	}
}

```

than to be able to show dashboards I imported them as described here:  
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/load-kibana-dashboards.html#load-dashboards-logstash](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/load-kibana-dashboards.html#load-dashboards-logstash)  
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/load-kibana-dashboards.html#load-dashboards-logstash](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/load-kibana-dashboards.html#load-dashboards-logstash)

Now the problem which I have is that filebeat doesn't parse the input for some reason. It creates index and everything inside discover but doesn't parse it:

on the other hand, metricbeat works perfectly.

Any idea how to solve this filebeat problem?

Hey!

I guess that you have to set the pipelines accordingly too? See [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/use-ingest-pipelines.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/use-ingest-pipelines.html)

It would be really great to add this note here [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/load-kibana-dashboards.html#load-dashboards-logstash](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/load-kibana-dashboards.html#load-dashboards-logstash)

This could be something reasonable @ClubG! Feel free to open a pull request for this if you are willing to contribute to the docs, or you can just open a Github issue for this.
