I have installed filebeat 7.15.1 on windows server with mssql logs module. When I run filebeat in foreground with .\filebeat.exe -c .\filebeat.yml -e -d "*"
, it can not parse the logs.

Do I need to add any additional configs here ? I have tried with different file encoding and also tried to use logs from filebeat.yml and got the same result. Can someone pls suggests what needs to be done here ? TIA.
