Hello everyone,
i´m trying to setup elastic-stack as a logserver with elastic search, logstash and filebeat. I´ve tested it on poc-machines with root-acces. Everything works fine. On our productive enviroment i got in some trouble with filebeat.
I didn´t get it to start. If i try to start it with:
arsadmin@vls20507:/var/log/filebeat>sudo systemctl start filebeat
arsadmin@vls20507:/var/log/filebeat>sudo systemctl status filebeat
● filebeat.service - Filebeat sends log files to Logstash or directly to Elasticsearch.

No logfile will be created....
if i try to start it directly with
/usr/share/filebeat/bin/filebeat -c /etc/filebeat/filebeat.yml -
path.home /usr/share/filebeat -path.config /etc/filebeat -path.data /var/lib/filebeat -path.logs
/var/log/filebeat
nothing happens, but a logfile will be created:
arsadmin@vls20507:/var/log/filebeat>tail filebeat

i´ve configured the elastic search in the filebeat.yml, but it even wont work with the logstash server.
Are there any ideas?
