You cluster is red which means you have unallocated primary shards, you need to figure out why.  
Check your logs and various `_cat` API end points.

Hi,

Thanks all. I have fixed this issue.

My filebeat log is not written in the mybeat file. Below my config

logging:  
to\_syslog: false  
to\_files: true  
files:

```
path: /var/log/mybeat
name: mybeat
rotateeverybytes: 10485760 # = 10MB
keepfiles: 7
```
