@Samerd There is no `us-central-1` region in AWS. See the list at: [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html)

@Samerd Looking more closely, your configuration isn't correct: there is no `regions` field under the aws modules. Also, there is no `aws.elb.name` field.

For ELB, you'd be encoding the region in the URL for the SQS queue where the ELB logs are written:

```auto
- module: aws
  elb:
    enabled: true

    # AWS SQS queue url
    var.queue_url: https://sqs.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/123456/myqueue

```

[The docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-module-aws.html) have the allowed configuration settings, and also explain how to configure the various AWS services to send their logs to S3 and enable SQS notifications.
