  # Protocol - either `http` (default) or `https`.
  #protocol: "https"

Remove the Kibana endpoint above That should only be the elasticsearch endpoint

`hosts: ["localhost:9200"]`

Please format your code in the future it's easy.. and helps

Thanks, Stephen Brown for the reply but the issue didn't get resolved I am assuming that's the reason why filebeat is not shipping logs to the elasticsearch.

Hi Mark! Thanks for the reply, Let me just brief you on what I am trying.  
I have done the setup for elk stack locally and I am using filebeat to ship the logs to Elasticsearch, but for some reason, I am not able to push logs to the Elasticsearch and I am getting this error when I start filebeat

```auto
{
  "log.level": "info",
  "@timestamp": "2022-06-27T17:41:26.369+0530",
  "log.logger": "add_cloud_metadata",
  "log.origin": {
    "file.name": "add_cloud_metadata/add_cloud_metadata.go",
    "file.line": 101
  },
  "message": "add_cloud_metadata: hosting provider type not detected.",
  "service.name": "filebeat",
  "ecs.version": "1.6.0"
}

```
