good day, everyone, thank you in advance for the collaboration. I have installed a filebeat agent on a Linux Debian server and it does not send data through the network. I have verified the configuration and did not identify any problem: Version filebeat-6.6.1 configuration - type: log - /var/log/_.log output.elasticsearch: hosts: ["IP:9200"] logging.level: info logging.selectors: ["_"] The Filebeat logs are: ``` 2019-03-01T15:47:13.569-0500 INFO [monitoring] log/log.go:153 Uptime: 5m59.711455611s 2019-03-01T15:47:13.569-0500 INFO [monitoring] log/log.go:130 Stopping metrics logging. 2019-03-01T15:47:13.569-0500 INFO instance/beat.go:413 filebeat stopped. tail: '/var/log/filebeat/filebeat' has become inaccessible: No such file or directory tail: '/var/log/filebeat/filebeat' has appeared;

```auto 2019-03-01T15:47:16.618-0500 INFO crawler/crawler.go:106 Loading and starting Inputs completed. Enabled inputs: 0 ``` Looking at the above you need to enable at least one inputs: ```auto - type: log enabled: true paths: - /var/log/ *.log* ``` ---
