Fliebeats + apache files

Elastic Stack Beats
1

I am trying to load some local log files into filebeat and get this error.

.\filebeat.exe setup -e

2020-09-22T13:28:52.813-0700 ERROR [esclientleg] eslegclient/connection.go:261 error connecting to Elasticsearch at http://localhost:5601: Failed to parse JSON response: invalid character '<' looking for beginning of value
2020-09-22T13:28:52.814-0700 ERROR instance/beat.go:951 Exiting: couldn't connect to any of the configured Elasticsearch hosts. Errors: [error connecting to Elasticsearch at http://localhost:5601: Failed to parse JSON response: invalid character '<' looking for beginning of value]

My yml file is here. Is there something wrong with my yml files?

Lines 157-162 in your config are in the wrong location, you should move those to the correct sections they belong in.

Hello, I can start up everything fine and dont get errors now. But when I click "discover" there are no apache logs. Even though they are in the location specified in yml file, ideas on what to check?

yml file here
