where is your filebeat.yml? How did you install filebeat? When running from /usr/share/filebeat/bin, it looks for the configuration file in your current path. Filebeat deb/rpm packages install a wrapper script, so you can run filebeat -configtest -e. The script sets some defaults configurations, like the config file path to /etc/filebeat/filebeat.yml.
