Hi,

Filebeat service is not running. But the kibana Dasboard shows as healthy in Elasticsearch Vm's and their respective nodes.

Can anyone help me.

Welcome to our community! 😃

My question is,  
What green health here means.  
Why its showing green health.  
How this index collecting the data.

That's the health of the index, which means that the primary and replica shards are assigned to Elasticsearch nodes in your cluster. It's not related to the Filebeat process.
