I have downloaded filebeat and configured the file and did the setup as in the installation and while running the error I haven't gotten any errors but when I go to my stack monitoring it says download fileabeat to view logs. I do not know to proceed from here

Welcome to the community!

Something is not OK with modules.d\gcp.yml.disabled or you have to correct filebeat.yml: `filebeat.exe test config`
