filebeat.yml

###################### Filebeat Configuration Example #########################

This file is an example configuration file highlighting only the most common

options. The filebeat.reference.yml file from the same directory contains all the

supported options with more comments. You can use it as a reference.

You can find the full configuration reference here:

Filebeat Reference | Elastic

For more available modules and options, please see the filebeat.reference.yml sample

configuration file.

============================== Filebeat inputs ===============================

filebeat.inputs:

Each - is an input. Most options can be set at the input level, so

you can use different inputs for various configurations.

Below are the input specific configurations.

filestream is an input for collecting log messages from files.

  • type: filestream

    Unique ID among all inputs, an ID is required.

    id: my-filestream-id

    Change to true to enable this input configuration.

    enabled: false

    Paths that should be crawled and fetched. Glob based paths.

    paths:

    • D:\ELK\yearpast.csv

    Exclude lines. A list of regular expressions to match. It drops the lines that are

    matching any regular expression from the list.

    Line filtering happens after the parsers pipeline. If you would like to filter lines

    before parsers, use include_message parser.

    #exclude_lines: ['^DBG']

    Include lines. A list of regular expressions to match. It exports the lines that are

    matching any regular expression from the list.

    Line filtering happens after the parsers pipeline. If you would like to filter lines

    before parsers, use include_message parser.

    #include_lines: ['^ERR', '^WARN']

    Exclude files. A list of regular expressions to match. Filebeat drops the files that

    are matching any regular expression from the list. By default, no files are dropped.

    #prospector.scanner.exclude_files: ['.gz$']

    Optional additional fields. These fields can be freely picked

    to add additional information to the crawled log files for filtering

    #fields:

    level: debug

    review: 1

============================== Filebeat modules ==============================

filebeat.config.modules:

Glob pattern for configuration loading

path: ${path.config}/modules.d/*.yml

Set to true to enable config reloading

reload.enabled: false

Period on which files under path should be checked for changes

#reload.period: 10s

======================= Elasticsearch template setting =======================

setup.template:
name: "filebeat"
pattern: "filebeat-*"
setup.template.settings:
index.number_of_shards: 1
#index.codec: best_compression
#_source.enabled: false

================================== General ===================================

The name of the shipper that publishes the network data. It can be used to group

all the transactions sent by a single shipper in the web interface.

#name:

The tags of the shipper are included in their own field with each

transaction published.

#tags: ["service-X", "web-tier"]

Optional fields that you can specify to add additional information to the

output.

#fields:

env: staging

================================= Dashboards =================================

These settings control loading the sample dashboards to the Kibana index. Loading

the dashboards is disabled by default and can be enabled either by setting the

options here or by using the setup command.

#setup.dashboards.enabled: false

The URL from where to download the dashboards archive. By default this URL

has a value which is computed based on the Beat name and version. For released

versions, this URL points to the dashboard archive on the artifacts.elastic.co

website.

#setup.dashboards.url:

=================================== Kibana ===================================

Starting with Beats version 6.0.0, the dashboards are loaded via the Kibana API.

This requires a Kibana endpoint configuration.

setup.kibana:

Kibana Host

Scheme and port can be left out and will be set to the default (http and 5601)

In case you specify and additional path, the scheme is required: http://localhost:5601/path

IPv6 addresses should always be defined as: https://[2001:db8::1]:5601

#host: "localhost:5601"

Kibana Space ID

ID of the Kibana Space into which the dashboards should be loaded. By default,

the Default Space will be used.

#space.id:

=============================== Elastic Cloud ================================

These settings simplify using Filebeat with the Elastic Cloud (https://cloud.elastic.co/).

The cloud.id setting overwrites the output.elasticsearch.hosts and

setup.kibana.host options.

You can find the cloud.id in the Elastic Cloud web UI.

#cloud.id:

The cloud.auth setting overwrites the output.elasticsearch.username and

output.elasticsearch.password settings. The format is <user>:<pass>.

#cloud.auth:

================================== Outputs ===================================

Configure what output to use when sending the data collected by the beat.

---------------------------- Elasticsearch Output ----------------------------

output.elasticsearch:

Array of hosts to connect to.

hosts: ["localhost:9200/"]
username: "elastic"
password: "vX9TC-s49qStALT85Yzl"
index: "filebeat-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"

Protocol - either http (default) or https.

#protocol: "https"

Authentication credentials - either API key or username/password.

#api_key: "id:api_key"
#username: "elastic"
#password: "changeme"

------------------------------ Logstash Output -------------------------------

#output.logstash:

The Logstash hosts

#hosts: ["localhost:5044"]

Optional SSL. By default is off.

List of root certificates for HTTPS server verifications

#ssl.certificate_authorities: ["/etc/pki/root/ca.pem"]

Certificate for SSL client authentication

#ssl.certificate: "/etc/pki/client/cert.pem"

Client Certificate Key

#ssl.key: "/etc/pki/client/cert.key"

================================= Processors =================================

processors:

  • add_host_metadata:
    when.not.contains.tags: forwarded
  • add_cloud_metadata: ~
  • add_docker_metadata: ~
  • add_kubernetes_metadata: ~

================================== Logging ===================================

Sets log level. The default log level is info.

Available log levels are: error, warning, info, debug

#logging.level: debug

At debug level, you can selectively enable logging only for some components.

To enable all selectors use ["*"]. Examples of other selectors are "beat",

"publisher", "service".

#logging.selectors: ["*"]

============================= X-Pack Monitoring ==============================

Filebeat can export internal metrics to a central Elasticsearch monitoring

cluster. This requires xpack monitoring to be enabled in Elasticsearch. The

reporting is disabled by default.

Set to true to enable the monitoring reporter.

#monitoring.enabled: false

Sets the UUID of the Elasticsearch cluster under which monitoring data for this

Filebeat instance will appear in the Stack Monitoring UI. If output.elasticsearch

is enabled, the UUID is derived from the Elasticsearch cluster referenced by output.elasticsearch.

#monitoring.cluster_uuid:

Uncomment to send the metrics to Elasticsearch. Most settings from the

Elasticsearch output are accepted here as well.

Note that the settings should point to your Elasticsearch monitoring cluster.

Any setting that is not set is automatically inherited from the Elasticsearch

output configuration, so if you have the Elasticsearch output configured such

that it is pointing to your Elasticsearch monitoring cluster, you can simply

uncomment the following line.

#monitoring.elasticsearch:

============================== Instrumentation ===============================

Instrumentation support for the filebeat.

#instrumentation:
# Set to true to enable instrumentation of filebeat.
#enabled: false

# Environment in which filebeat is running on (eg: staging, production, etc.)
#environment: ""

# APM Server hosts to report instrumentation results to.
#hosts:
#  - http://localhost:8200

# API Key for the APM Server(s).
# If api_key is set then secret_token will be ignored.
#api_key:

# Secret token for the APM Server(s).
#secret_token:

================================= Migration ==================================

This allows to enable 6.7 migration aliases

migration.6_to_7.enabled: true

Hi @vijay78

Can you re-format this post so the filebeat.yml is in a "preformatted text" block? Its really hard to read and understand they way it is.

Your initial error doesn't appear to be an error, yet the log of Filebeat stating any of its non-zero metrics.
I also notice that there aren't any open files or harvesters with Filebeat in this particular log.

Any additional context about your environment and your expectations will help others assisting you as well.
