Hello there,

I am new to winlogbeat and elastic stack. I have installed winlogbeat 7.11.0 to monitor windows event logs of a proprietary application (eXX). The windows event log contains entries from 10th March upto 26th March 20201. My winlogbeat.yml is given below. I don't see any windows event logs going to logstash 7.11.0. Can someone help me getting it right? Does winlogbeat ignore events already present in the windows event log?

winlogbeat.event\_logs:

- name: eXX  
event\_id: 1, 2, 3

setup.ilm.enabled: false  
setup.ilm.check\_exists: false

output.logstash:  
hosts: ["localhost:5044"]
