Apologies I meant filebeat configuration and logstash pipeline configuration so.we can see what you are trying to write too...

Also how did you get started / setup?

Perhaps look at these two...I have other write ups on using

Filebeat -\> Logstash -\> Elasticsearch

> Hi @st1988 Welcome the community and thanks for trying the Elastic Stack. It can be a bit challenging the first time you enter into the stack we are working to make this easier with our new feet So here is what I do Macro I make Filebeat to Elasticsearch Work direct first then I route thought Logstash.... if you can not do that thats ok but that is the best way to check if every thing works before routing through logstash 1st) clean up if you have any filbeat indices as the may be not setup…
