Hi @matin44 Welcome to the communty.

Please post your entire `filebeat.yml` AND correctly format it by selecting the text and pressing the `</>` button..

From your unformatted text above we can not tell if it is properly formatted and it is kind of acting like it is not since it is ignoring the `host` field (not properly indented)

> [@matin44](#):
>
> setup.kibana:  
> host: "[http://190.160.10.10:5601](http://190.160.10.10:5601)"

it should be indented...

```auto
setup.kibana:
  host: "http://190.160.10.10:5601"

```
