I'm stuck at this step, not to much detail is shown to accomplish this. Now, edit `filebeat.yml` to configure Filebeat to output to your Elastic Cloud deployment. Insert the following two lines at the end of the config file: I tried to edit the file with nano, but when I type nano filebeat.yml it opens a blank file, nothing to be replaced. How do I get the file in question? The instructions say to "nano path/to/filename" but I don't know the path. ---

Hello, Did you successfully download filebeat? If you did all the command listed in step 2.1, your current directory should be: `/home/elastic/filebeat-7.12.0-linux-x86_64` You can then run `nano filebeat.yml` from there. If this command doesn't work, make sure you're in the correct directory. Romain ---

Thanks, I see the problem. I did download it but paused it. When I came back I was unaware I had to download it again, it worked. Thanks However, Now I'm running into an issue step 9, I'm running the command ./filebeat setup and I get the following error message "elastic@ip-xxx-xx-x-xxx~/filebeat-7.12.0-linux-x86\_64$ ./filebeat setup Overwriting ILM policy is disabled. Set `setup.ilm.overwrite: true` for enabling. Index setup finished. Loading dashboards (Kibana must be running and reachable) Loaded dashboards Setting up ML using setup --machine-learning is going to be removed in 8.0.0. Please use the ML app instead.

BTW I was able to complete the lab, but wondering why those messages show up ---

Hi @jasieltego , this `Exiting: 1 error: Error setting up ML for nginx_ecs: 10 errors: ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ;` is a known issue. You can check more details about it in this link: > > > For confirmed bugs, please report: > Version: 7.10.0 > Operating System: ECK 1.3 > Steps to Reproduce: Upgrade filebeat with nginx module from 7.9.3 to 7.10.0 > While upgrading... Since this issue does not affect any of the lab steps you can just ignore it and proceed with other lab steps. Thanks, Andre ---

By the way, to avoid this issue you can run the following command: `./filebeat setup --dashboards --index-management --pipelines` Best, Andre ---
