Sorry for stupid question, i am new to ELK; I want to parse some Apache log using Filebeat and then visualize them in "Kibana". I set log path in "filebeat.yml" but when i check for the log in "Kibana" it shows a different path!  
can somebody help me? I think this is the reason that i can not parse them using apache2.

What version of filebeat, elasticsearch, and kibana are you using? What does your filebeat.yml look like? Can you provide sample document as viewed in Kibana? What does the path look? What did you expect it to look like?
