Hello experts, I am new to this world of ELK and I have already read the documentation but I still do not find the problem ... I am very horrible to write problems, but here I go:

**Case:**  
I have a JSON report (a Behave Test) and I want to send that report to Kibana via filebeat

**Version:**  
filebeat version 7.6.2 (amd64), libbeat 7.6.2

**filebeat.yml:**

#=========================== Filebeat inputs =============================

filebeat.inputs:

```
- type: log
  enabled: true

  paths:
    - /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/jsonreport

  json.keys_under_root: true
  json.overwrite_keys: true
  json.add_error_key: true
  json.message_key: log

```

**Results:**

Kibana still showing information from the last path i used to use last week, was a .log.

]

I'm pretty sure I'm skipping some step, or something I need to do with elasticsearch to make it recognize the JSON, but I've searched 3 days in a row and nothing works ☹

thanks guys for your time and if i miss some extra information i'll add it as soon as i can.

Actually i dont have any errors or anything ... my issue is that, i'd love have a path error but its like JSON is not compatible or something.
