Hi everyone,
i have configured winlogbeat to forward windows logs to logstash and successfully receiving logs in logstash(which i can see in command prompt), but i'm not getting the logs in elasticsearch.
can anyone guide me ?
please find my logstash config:
input {
beats {
port =\> 5044
#ssl\_certificate =\> "C:\siem\logfw.crt"
#ssl\_key =\> "C:\siem\logfw.key"
}
{
output {
stdout { codec =\> rubydebug }
elasticsearch {
```
hosts => ["localhost:7778"]
index => "logstash-client1-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
```
}
}
