I m using ELK stack 5.2 version.
I have changed the output to elasticsearch in filebeat.yml. I dont see any index on elasticsearch and kibana.
I want to move the file with logs on machine A to machine B[elk server]. Can Anyone help me out in solving the issue. I want to move the logs from the machine A to elk server and get stored and displayed on kibana.
i have started filebeat by using the command ./filebeat -e -c filebeat.yml -d "publish". I can see its not publishing events, please find below log.
