I am pretty new to ELK so some actions and questions could be simple.  
We are sending logs directly from Filebeats to Elasticsearch without Logstash.

Logs can contain JSON in different fields that also need to be parsed. I have created a pipeline to parse logs, tested it in the developer console, and output was as expected. I have set Filebeat to send logs to this pipeline by adding 'pipeline: application\_pipeline' to filebeat.yml. But in Index Management, I see only my docs.

How to check if Filebeat is sending these logs to the pipeline? Or how to set this correct?

log example:

```auto

The simplest way would be to enable debug logging. You can also observe network traffic on port 9200.
