I have just installed Windows ElasticSearch x64 , Kibana(x86) 5.5.2 and FileBeats(x86) to my Windows 10. I should see an indice created for both Kibana and FileBeats but do not see one for FIlebeats. The ElasticSearch cat shows as follows. Some from Kibana,
health status index uuid pri rep docs.count docs.deleted store.size pri.store.size
yellow open .kibana E8cuRzLqTw-7yoLr7s1iGw 1 1 1 0 3.2kb 3.2kb
The Filebeats log indicates that ES is set as a for the output.
The filebeat.prospector is as follows
filebeat.prospectors:
Each - is a prospector. Most options can be set at the prospector level, so
