Hi,

What operating system are you on? How did you install FileBeat?

Here is the directory structure definition if you have changed the logging settings: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/directory-layout.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/directory-layout.html)

You might also want to check your config: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/configuration-logging.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/configuration-logging.html)

Best regards  
Wolfram

Then it should be under /usr/share/filebeat/logs according to the docs.

According to this documentation: [Logging | Elasticsearch Guide [8.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/logging.html)

> On [Docker](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docker.html), log messages go to the console and are handled by the configured Docker logging driver. To access logs, run `docker logs` .
