Filebeat is running and give me the report when i typed `filebeat -e -c filebeat.yml` or `filebeat -e` only should be enough. So, i don't follow this step `filebeat setup -e` on this link [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-module-apache2.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-module-apache2.html). I think that step is loading the default settings (Kibana, Elasticsearch and Filebeat).

And, the next thread i would make, How could Graylog2 receive input from filebeat harvest ? 🙂 i read forum and i notice GELF can be implemented.
