[FIlebeat] How to get logs default paths for modules?

Elastic Stack Beats

Hello !

I'm using Filebeat (7.8) and module system.

For the var.paths of the syslog fileset, documentation says : "If this setting is left empty, Filebeat will choose log paths based on your operating system."

How can I get a list of these log path based on my operating system ? I would like to be sure that all required logs are well collected

Thanks for your help ! :slight_smile:

Such list do not exist, sorry. If you know the logs you want to parse, just set them in var.paths. It's the best way to get all logs you require.

Thanks for your response @Mario_Castro

OK. Any way to get that list maybe by a debug function ?
