Hello
# The goal is to write the filebeat-Logs via the output.elasticsearch into the logstash index. We have done the following entry in the filebeat.yml
setup.template:
name: "logstash"
pattern: "logstash-\*"
# output.elasticsearch: hosts: [":9200"] pipeline: "filebeat-7.4.0-%{[fields.pipelinect]}" index: "logstash-%{[agent.version]}-%{+yyyy.MM.dd}"
After restarting the filebeat service we receive the logs not in the logstash-index. We still receive them in the filebeat-7.4.0-Index.
What do we wrong in the configuration.
Thank for tipps
Ritzo

Hi BM
Thanks for your response. I copied the filebeat.yml into this post
* * *
filebeat.inputs:
- type: log
enabled: true
paths:
- type: log
enabled: true
paths:
filebeat.config.modules:
path: ${path.config}/modules.d/\*.yml
reload.enabled: false
setup.template.settings:
index.number\_of\_shards: 1
setup.template:
name: "logstash"
pattern: "logstash-\*"
output.elasticsearch:
hosts: ["es.weblocal:9200"]
pipeline: "filebeat-7.4.1-%{[fields.pipelinect]}"
index: "logstash-%{[agent.version]}-%{+yyyy.MM.dd}"
processors:

logging.files:

We also enabled the following modules
filebeat modules enable apache
# and set up the pipelines for them:
filebeat setup --pipelines # result: Loaded Ingest pipelines
filebeat setup --pipelines --modules system,apache # result: Loaded Ingest pipelines
filebeat modules list # Enabled: apache
# check config
filebeat test config # config OK
filebeat test output # parse url OK / connection OK,..... / talk to server OK / version 7.4.1
If you need further infos. Let me know

In your configuration you are not enabling ILM, but it is activated by default if your Elasticsearch cluster supports it.
Index Lifecycle Management by default creates its own index name.
Try to disable it first: setup.ilm.enabled: false
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/ilm.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/ilm.html)
To confirm that it is what's happening, please check your logs for messages from index-management
