Hi everybody,

I 'm beginner in ElasticStack. I'm using version 6.3.2. to test it. I'm installing Filebeat, Logstash, Elasticsearch and Kibana as service on windows 10.

Normlay filebeat must recover the logfiles and sending them to Logstash, but nothing is happening.

Can somebody help me please ?

Here are myconfigfiles:

## 1)Filebeat.yml:

filebeat.inputs:

- type: log  
enabled: false

filebeat.config.modules:

# Glob pattern for configuration loading

path: ${path.config}/modules.d/\*.yml

# Set to true to enable config reloading

reload.enabled: false

setup.template.settings:  
index.number\_of\_shards: 3

output.logstash:

# The Logstash hosts

hosts: ["localhost:5044"]

* * *

## logstash.conf:

input {  
beats {  
port =\> 5044  
}  
}

output {  
elasticsearch {  
hosts =\> "localhost:9200"  
}  
}

* * *

## kibana.yml:

server.port: 5601

server.host: "localhost"

elasticsearch.url: "[http://localhost:9200](http://localhost:9200)"

## kibana.index: ".kibana"

I using logstash.yml and elasticsearch.yml as default.

Thanks in advance
