Filebeat 7.12 output.file not working

Elastic Stack Beats

Hi,

Please advise why this output.file isn't working. I'm on windows and trying to get the events filebeat is sending to my logstash. I don't have access much on the logstash logs and stuff so i'm trying to output the events to a file and check from there. When i start the filebeat service, the Windows couldn't start the service. Below is the config.

output.file:
enabled: true
path: "C:\Filebeat_7.12"
filename: filebeat

What error is the Windows Service (Events) showing? Are those the only configurations you have changed and all the rest are default in the filbeat.yml file?
