Index for customer files

[parmeet81 (parmeet)]

Hi,

I just finished setting up ELK on log server(one folder for each new issue) and edited my filebeat.yml file for the log folder. So the next step is to create index so that it can be easily searched. Can you please let me know how to create index.

Analyse the log files

Hi, I just finished setting up ELK on log server(one folder for each new issue) and edited my filebeat.yml file for the log folder. So the next step is to create index so that it can be easily searched. so do I need to set up different filebeat.yml file for every new issue or I can give the path of root folder and it will automatically create the index and will show me th result in Kibana. Can you please guide me how it will do it.
