Hi there, I am using Ubuntu with the latest filebeat version, to start filebeat I run `sudo /etc/init.d/filebeat start` and I get `[ok] Starting filebeat (via systemctl): filebeat.service.` Then I want to run `filebeat -c filebeat.yml -configtest` to validate configurations sanity but I get filebeat: command not found. How to solve this issue? ---

@ibrahimsharaf If you installed the DEB package, you'll want to run `./filebeat.sh -configtest -e` [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/5.5/filebeat-configuration.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/5.5/filebeat-configuration.html) ---
