I have configured elk stack with filebeat.
I am standing logs from filebeat to logstash but it's not running.
The configuration in filebeat.yml :
```auto
filebeat.inputs:
- type: log
enabled: true
-C:/Users/mohnadik/Downloads/abc.log
filebeat.config.modules:
path: ${path.config}/modules.d/*.yml
reload.enabled: true
setup.template.settings:
index.number_of_shards: 1
#Logstash
output.logstash:
hosts: ["localhost:5044"]
processors:
- add_host_metadata: ~
- add_cloud_metadata: ~
- add_docker_metadata: ~
- add_kubernetes_metadata: ~
```
The conf file in logstash is :
```auto
input{
file{
path => "C:/Users/mohnadik/Downloads/abc.log"
start_position => "beginning"
sincedb_path => "NUL"
}}
output{stdout{} }
```
The log files from filebeat is :
```auto

Can some please suggest me what I am doing here?
Any help would be really appreciated.

hi @falconpurple, not sure about the goal in this setup . You are collecting logs using Filebeat and sending them to Logstash but you are also collecting the same logs in Logstash and reading them to the console?
To read events from Filebeat in Logstash you will have to configure a beat input instead [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-beats.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-beats.html)
Also, have a look at the doc on how the filebeat.inputs option is configured [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-input-log.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-input-log.html), you are missing `paths` and `enabled` option seems to have an extra space.
