Good evening  
I have a problem with loading access apache2.  
I installed filebeat and I did the following command  
sudo filebeat setup -e  
sudo filebeat modules enable apache2  
At the end I did the command  
sudo filebeat -e --module apache2 -M "apache2.access.var.paths=/home/franco/scenario1\_filebeat/apache\_logs"  
and I received the following error  
ERROR instance/beat.go:667 Exiting: Error getting config for fielset apache2/access: Error interpreting the template of the prospector: template: text:3:22: executing "text" at \<.paths\>: range can't iterate over /home/franco/scenario1\_filebeat/apache\_logs  
Exiting: Error getting config for fielset apache2/access: Error interpreting the template of the prospector: template: text:3:22: executing "text" at \<.paths\>: range can't iterate over /home/franco/scenario1\_filebeat/apache\_logs

What is the error?

Thank you in advance  
Franco

I found the problem 🙂

There was 2 errors, the correct command is the followinf

sudo filebeat -e --module apache2 -M "apache2.access.var.paths=[/home/franco/scenario1\_filebeat/apache\_logs\*]"

For the other people that found the same error  
Bye
