I have answered in the other thread. You seem to be on the good path, you just need to install Auditbeat on more servers. Please let us know if you require more information.
I have installed but it doesn't work
If it works getting the data from the system where ES is working, but not from other servers, I suspect the Output configuration in Auditbeat is not correct. Could you post your auditbeat.yml and the logs?
How did you install Auditbeat? From DEB/RPM? Depending on the installation method, the logs location will be different. It should be either in /var/log/auditbeat or in logs/auditbeat in the install directory.

Thanks, can you switch Auditbeat to debug mode? Add or uncomment logging.level: debug on one of the servers where it doesn't work and then send us the logs again. I hope that will give us a better indication of what doesn't work.
uncomment logging.level: debug that line on server side or client side ?
On the Auditbeat instance that doesn't work. That's client side from what I understand, right?
You're right !
You have found an error on my configuration files both server and client ?
