Hi Forum  
Just a Noobie for this kind of setup - but linuxnerd for +30 years - I have build a server with Elasticsearch/Kibana and Logstash -and are running into some issues.

From Linux - I can collect the data/logs and visualize it through Elastich/Kibana - and all Linux servers are delievering data - But I cannot manage to get the Windows servers to deliever the Data.  
I had some issue with the configuration of the filebeat on windows -but now its running - but cannot see any logs inside the ServerGUI - and are not showing any type of contact to the server

My Config for filebeat.yml looks like this:

```
filebeat.inputs:
- type: log
  enabled: true
  paths:
    #- /var/log/*.log
   - C:/ProgramData/Filebeat/Logs

output.logstash:
  hosts: ["FQDN:5044"]

```

And I have enabled the IIS and MySQL since these are the 2 services running on this server  
(But afterwards I have several more Windows Servers that needs to be added - but I would like to see data from this server before continuing)

```
- module: iis
   #Access logs
   access:
   enabled: true
   error:
     enabled: true

- module: mysql
    #Error logs 
    error:
    enabled: true

#Slow logs
  slowlog:
   enabled: true

```

Can anybody see my mistakes or help me further on for collecting these data from WIndows? Since I cannot see these logsentries anywhere on my Server

Thanks in advance
