I am not sure I understand your use case. In your configuration the input is a Beat and you are sending it to Elasticsearch. What kind of Beat is it? Could you share its configuration?
my goal is to take information from server, for this i thought i have to use metricbeat. I thought that it should look like following: Metricbeat -> Logstash -> ES -> Kibana. Please tell me if it is not. Do I need to install any other modules?
I need to know "totalUsedSpace" and "totalAvailableSpace" from it
The second one is /dashboard/staging-space

# transaction published.

# Optional fields that you can specify to add additional information to the

#============================== Dashboards =====================================
# These settings control loading the sample dashboards to the Kibana index. Loading
# the dashboards is disabled by default and can be enabled either by setting the
# options here, or by using the `-setup` CLI flag or the `setup` command.
#setup.dashboards.enabled: false
# The URL from where to download the dashboards archive. By default this URL
# has a value which is computed based on the Beat name and version. For released
# versions, this URL points to the dashboard archive on the artifacts.elastic.co
# website.
#setup.dashboards.url:
#============================== Kibana =====================================
# Starting with Beats version 6.0.0, the dashboards are loaded via the Kibana API.
# This requires a Kibana endpoint configuration.
setup.kibana:
# Kibana Host
# Scheme and port can be left out and will be set to the default (http and 5601)

#============================= Elastic Cloud ==================================
# These settings simplify using metricbeat with the Elastic Cloud (https://cloud.elastic.co/).
# The cloud.id setting overwrites the `output.elasticsearch.hosts` and
# `setup.kibana.host` options.
# You can find the `cloud.id` in the Elastic Cloud web UI.

# Available log levels are: error, warning, info, debug
#logging.level: debug
# At debug level, you can selectively enable logging only for some components.
# To enable all selectors use ["*"]. Examples of other selectors are "beat",
# "publish", "service".
#logging.selectors: ["*"]
#============================== Xpack Monitoring ===============================
# metricbeat can export internal metrics to a central Elasticsearch monitoring
# cluster. This requires xpack monitoring to be enabled in Elasticsearch. The
# reporting is disabled by default.
# Set to true to enable the monitoring reporter.
#xpack.monitoring.enabled: false
# Uncomment to send the metrics to Elasticsearch. Most settings from the
# Elasticsearch output are accepted here as well. Any setting that is not set is
# automatically inherited from the Elasticsearch output configuration, so if you
# have the Elasticsearch output configured, you can simply uncomment the
# following line.
#xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch:
If I understood correctly your apache is listening on localhost:8080. But in your configuration you put "http://127.0.0.1" as host. That's why Metricbeat cannot connect to your service.
The output config is seems incorrect also. You enabled Elasticsearch. You should enable Logstash output, if you would like to send events to LS. You need to adjust your LS config to be able to read the events from Metricbeat. port must be set to the output port of your Metricbeat. In your config it's 5044.

Is it wright?
I guess that this is what I need https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/metricbeat-module-http.html
and as I understand I don't need to install anything , just to configure?
You don't need to install anything, you are right.
But I am not sure I understand you. You want to monitor apache which runs your web service or just the the service or both?
just the service.
The task is collecting data periodically from multiple HTTP endpoints, and indexing the result in Elasticsearch (for the beginning /dashboard/backup-destination-stats and /dashboard/staging-space endpoints)
Could you please help me to do that, I tried but smth is going wrong.

#
# Use a descriptive name for the node:
#
# node.name: test
#
# If omitted the node name will default to the machine's host name
#

# above the next, like this:
#
# modules:
# - name: MODULE_NAME

# Default is path.data/queue
#
# path.queue:
#

# Default is 0 (unlimited)
#
# queue.max_events: 0
#
# If using queue.type: persisted, the total capacity of the queue in number of bytes.
# If you would like more unacked events to be buffered in Logstash, you can increase the
# capacity using this setting. Please make sure your disk drive has capacity greater than
# the size specified here. If both max_bytes and max_events are specified, Logstash will pick
# whichever criteria is reached first
# Default is 1024mb or 1gb
#
# queue.max_bytes: 1024mb
#
# If using queue.type: persisted, the maximum number of acked events before forcing a checkpoint
# Default is 1024, 0 for unlimited
#
# queue.checkpoint.acks: 1024
#
# If using queue.type: persisted, the maximum number of written events before forcing a checkpoint
# Default is 1024, 0 for unlimited

#
# ------------ Dead-Letter Queue Settings --------------
# Flag to turn on dead-letter queue.
#
# dead_letter_queue.enable: false
# If using dead_letter_queue.enable: true, the maximum size of each dead letter queue. Entries
# will be dropped if they would increase the size of the dead letter queue beyond this setting.
# Default is 1024mb
# dead_letter_queue.max_bytes: 1024mb
# If using dead_letter_queue.enable: true, the directory path where the data files will be stored.
# Default is path.data/dead_letter_queue
#
# path.dead_letter_queue:
#
# ------------ Metrics Settings --------------
#
# Bind address for the metrics REST endpoint
#
# http.host: "127.0.0.1"
#
# Bind port for the metrics REST endpoint, this option also accept a range
# (9600-9700) and logstash will pick up the first available ports.
#
# http.port: 9600-9700
#
# ------------ Debugging Settings --------------
#
# Options for log.level:
