Hello @SalmaShaik, I believe you'll find [this quick start guide](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-installation-configuration.html) helpful. - install Filebeat on each system you want to monitor - specify the location of your log files - parse log data into fields and send it to Elasticsearch - visualize the log data in Kibana ---
