Hi! How do you accept logs from Filebeam in Logstash? I have configured configurations in the yml file for output in Logstash.. In the settings, Logstash specified that without a filter, logs go directly to elasticsearch.  
But something goes wrong and it doesn't give out indexes as if I were giving them directly to elasticsearch. All indexes are not reached.  
The question is more about how you do it. If you don't mind show us some examples of configurations 🙂

It's not clear what you mean by that sorry.

Can you post your config?
