Filebeat not creating index in Kibana

Elastic Stack Beats
1

Hi!

I'm using ELK6.3.2 Logstash, Elastic Search, Kibana and Filebeat. All the services are running with No Errors. I see that the Filebeat is able to recognize my configured path and the new log files but I don't see any indices in my Kibana- ElasticSearch.

Portion of my filebeat.yml:
filebeat.inputs:

# Each - is an input. Most options can be set at the input level, so
# you can use different inputs for various configurations.
# Below are the input specific configurations.

- type: log

  # Change to true to enable this input configuration.
  enabled: true

  # Paths that should be crawled and fetched. Glob based paths.
  paths:
    #- /var/log/*.log
    #- c:\programdata\elasticsearch\logs\*
    - c:\queued\*.log
filebeat.config.modules:
  # Glob pattern for configuration loading
  path: ${path.config}/modules.d/*.yml

  # Set to true to enable config reloading
  reload.enabled: false

output.elasticsearch:
  # Array of hosts to connect to.
  hosts: ["localhost:9200"]

Below is the portion of my filebeat logs. I had 80+ files in my log folder

`
The sequence of harvester loading the files, log monitoring and files being closed due to inactivity repeats in the log file with no Index in Kibana.

What am I missing here? Please Help!
Thanks!
