Hi guys,

I'm trying to figure out why my filebeat is not sending information to logstach. Instead, it's sending directly to elastic.

When I go to my kibana there is only the filebeat index patter. When I access the elastich utr :[http://172.26.73.113:9200/logstash-\*/\_search?pretty](http://172.26.73.113:9200/logstash-*/_search?pretty), the following result is showed (no results):

```
{

```

"took" : 0,  
"timed\_out" : false,  
"\_shards" : {  
"total" : 0,  
"successful" : 0,  
"skipped" : 0,  
"failed" : 0  
},  
"hits" : {  
"total" : {  
"value" : 0,  
"relation" : "eq"  
},  
"max\_score" : 0.0,  
"hits" :   
}  
}

Here is my Filebeat configuration:

```
#================================ Outputs =====================================

```

# Configure what output to use when sending the data collected by the beat.

#-------------------------- Elasticsearch output ------------------------------  
##output.elasticsearch:

# Array of hosts to connect to.

#hosts: ["172.26.73.113:9200"]

# Optional protocol and basic auth credentials.

#protocol: "https"  
#username: "elastic"  
#password: "changeme"

#----------------------------- Logstash output --------------------------------  
output.logstash:

# The Logstash hosts

hosts: ["172.26.73.113:5044"]

# Optional SSL. By default is off.

# List of root certificates for HTTPS server verifications

#ssl.certificate\_authorities: ["/etc/pki/root/ca.pem"]

here my logstash configuration file:

```
input {
beats {
    port => 5044
    host => "172.26.73.113"
}

```

}

output {  
elasticsearch {  
hosts =\> ["172.26.73.113:9200"]  
index =\> "%{[@metadata][beat]}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"  
document\_type =\> "%{[@metadata][type]}"  
}  
}

Why are you looking for a logstash-\* index. You are setting the index to "%{[@metadata][beat]}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}", which will be filebeat...

Hi @Badger,

Thank you for that. If you point, now I can see the logs into [http://172.26.73.113:9200/logstash-\*/\_search?pretty](http://172.26.73.113:9200/logstash-*/_search?pretty) because I've changed the index to: index =\> "logstash-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"

Thank you again.
