I am knew in ELK and I have not beeing able to see any logs in kibana. I need to get logs from PFSENSE firewall. I am getting the following error that might be the issue.

nettec@Ubuntu-ELK:~$ sudo filebeat -e -d "\*"?  
2020-09-24T11:48:19.214Z ERROR instance/beat.go:951 Exiting: data path already locked by another beat. Please make sure that multiple beats are not sharing the same data path (path.data).  
Exiting: data path already locked by another beat. Please make sure that multiple beats are not sharing the same data path (path.data).

I am using an ssh azure server to remote get the logs from the firewall.

Thank you!

Do you have multiple beat in the same server? The log shows that there's another beats instance running and locked the data path.
