Importing Apache logs with FIlebeats tutorial doesn't work

Elastic Stack Beats

Hi Chris

You saying that the paths config is not an array made me search on Google the last line of the filebeat logs and found https://discuss.elastic.co/t/unable-to-ingest-apache2-logs-through-filebeat/146309/3. I had to change the apache.yml file from:

var.paths: /home/luis/Downloads/apache_logs

to

var.paths:
  - '/home/luis/Downloads/apache_logs'

And now it works with filebeat -e -d "*"!!

Thanks a lot, Chris.
