I am working on a [Github project providing a lightweight docker-swarm environment](https://github.com/imixs/imixs-cloud). One feature I would like to add is a centralized logging stack based on Filebeat, Elasticsearch and Kibana. And my goal is to startup the stack with one single docker-compose.yml file.

The architecture should be quite simple:

```
FileBeat Elasticseach Kibana

 worker1 ----->|
               |
 worker3 ----->|---> Manager -----> Manager
               |
 worker3 ----->|

```

I do not need logstash to keep it compact. I created already a [docker-compose.yml](https://github.com/imixs/imixs-cloud/blob/master/management/logging/docker-compose.yml) file to start up the stack. But this did not work.

My current questions are:

- How can I test if the filebeat worker nodes are working?
- How can I test if the log information from a filebeat worker node is ingested by elasticsearch?
- What are the steps to setup kibana to show the log information?

If anybody can help me this would be great. I raised this issue also on [Github](https://github.com/imixs/imixs-cloud/issues/16)
