Following this offical doc([https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/5.4/advanced-pipeline.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/5.4/advanced-pipeline.html)) to run filebeat hits the folllowing error:

./filebeat -e -c filebeat.yml -d "publish"

If you want Filebeat to send to Logstash you need to configure it to use a Logstash output instead of an Elasticsearch output.
