Hello, I just started ELK and I sucked in English.  
I have installed ELK + filebeat + winlogbeat on Ubuntu Vm as suggested, but filebeat does not send log firewall to kibana. Can not create index pattern logstash and filebeat but can create index pattern winlogbeat

The winlogbeat is sent from the main OS.

How do I solve this problem?  
please help me

```
filebeat.prospectors:

- type: log

  enabled: false

  paths:
- C:\system32\LogFiles\Firewall\pfirewall.log
#- c:\programdata\elasticsearch\logs\

```
