Hi @Debasis_Mallick

What version filbeat and elastic?

There is an example here

> Well If there is a module that is the same as an integration you can actually do this... BTW ... Installing Integration assets is a great "hack" errrr I mean workaround for lots of things... you can basically use filebeat and trick it into acting like a full Agent.... so you can use the pipelines, dashboards etc..etc.. send the data to the data stream... and WALLUH (YMMV) Example hack with filebeat to use and integration filebeat.inputs: - type: filestream id: my-filestream-id enabled: …

BTW by default new versions of filebeat automatically use data streams.

So what version are you on
