Continuing the discussion from [Filebeat is not sending logs to logstash](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/filebeat-is-not-sending-logs-to-logstash/56249/10):

Hi Guys ,

I have installed kibana elasticsearch logstash in cent os but filebeat is not sending data to logstash

###################### Filebeat Configuration Example #########################

# This file is an example configuration file highlighting only the most common

# options. The filebeat.full.yml file from the same directory contains all the

# supported options with more comments. You can use it as a reference.

# 

# You can find the full configuration reference here:

# [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/index.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/index.html)

#=========================== Filebeat prospectors =============================

filebeat.prospectors:

# Each - is a prospector. Most options can be set at the prospector level, so

# you can use different prospectors for various configurations.

# Below are the prospector specific configurations.

- input\_type: log

#================================ General =====================================

# The name of the shipper that publishes the network data. It can be used to group

# all the transactions sent by a single shipper in the web interface.

#name:

# The tags of the shipper are included in their own field with each

# transaction published.

#tags: ["service-X", "web-tier"]

# Optional fields that you can specify to add additional information to the

# output.

#fields:

# env: staging

#================================ Outputs =====================================

# Configure what outputs to use when sending the data collected by the beat.

# Multiple outputs may be used.

#-------------------------- Elasticsearch output ------------------------------  
#output.elasticsearch:

# Array of hosts to connect to.

#hosts: ["localhost:9200"]

# Optional protocol and basic auth credentials.

#protocol: "https"  
#username: "elastic"  
#password: "changeme"

#----------------------------- Logstash output --------------------------------

Looks like the destination misses the hostname/ip.

If this does not help, maybe the problem is in the multiline matching
