Hi, I am trying to send data to elastic search using filebeat. I started my elastic search and then filebeat. I am getting the bellow message OS: Ubuntu 16.04 Filebeat version: filebeat-7.0.0 ElasticSearch version: elasticsearch-7.0.0 ``` log/log.go:144 Non-zero metrics in the last 30s {"monitoring": {"metrics": {"beat":{"cpu":{"system":{"ticks":800,"time":{"ms":1}},"total":{"ticks":1520,"time":{"ms":81},"value":1520},"user":{"ticks":720,"time":{"ms":80}}},"handles":{"limit":{"hard":1048576,"soft":1024},"open":10},"info":{"ephemeral_id":"61171869-31b5-4be4-8207-d533d07df65e","uptime":{"ms":510033}},"memstats":{"gc_next":29731616,"memory_alloc":14944280,"memory_total":45481528}},"filebeat":{"harvester":{"open_files":4,"running":14}},"libbeat":{"config":{"module":{"running":0},"reloads":3},"pipeline":{"clients":1,"events":{"active":4117}}},"registrar":{"states":{"current":6}},"system":{"load":{"1":0.94,"15":1.16,"5":1.28,"norm":{"1":0.0783,"15":0.0967,"5":0.1067}}}}}} ``` Filebeat.yml ``` ###################### Filebeat Configuration Example ######################### #=========================== Filebeat inputs ============================= filebeat.inputs: - type: log enabled: true # Paths that should be crawled and fetched.

Do you have a more complete log? There are events in the local queue, but the output did not yet process or ACK any. Any IO errors? Try running filebeat with debug logs enabled by running filebeat with `-d '*'`. ---

This is what I get when I run using debug mode ./filebeat -e -d publish [filebeat.log](https://drive.google.com/open?id=1XrcX2XpNSPMWeNgGJL6cTC_rSdmrLX3y) ---

You can access now. I have given internal users to access it earlier. Sorry for it. ---

checking the logs the license check fails: ```auto ... invalid license found, requires a basic or a valid trial license and received Open source ... ``` Which Elasticsearch version have you installed? You need at least Elasticsearch with Basic enabled for the Filebeat version you are running. Alternatively download and install the OSS Filebeat version. ---
