Hi @vinodh023,

Have you set the same path in filebeat/logstash to get the logs on kibana dashboard??

If you have set and facing any issue you can share you config file and log here so that i can see the issue and provide some solution on that.

How can I set path in filebeat/lgostach ?. Path means can set any port number or go language src folder name? Thank you.

Ho @vinodh023,

Yes, These both are possible.

> [@](#):

For path only:  
Go to filebeat.yml file available in /etc/filebeat/ folder and set prospector setting and configure the elasticsearch or logstash o/p to send that logs and configure the kibana with elasticsearch in /etc/kibana/kibana.yml file and restart all service and you will get all logs on kibana dashboard.

If you want to go with port you can use logstashh i/p plugin for the same.

**My file beat like this** :

```

# Filebeat Configuration Example

# [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/index.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/index.html)

#=========================== Filebeat inputs =============================

filebeat.inputs:

# Each - is an input. Most options can be set at the input level, so

# you can use different inputs for various configurations.

# Below are the input specific configurations.

- type: log

#============================= Filebeat modules ===============================

filebeat.config.modules:

# Glob pattern for configuration loading

path: ${path.config}/modules.d/\*.yml

# Set to true to enable config reloading

reload.enabled: false

# Period on which files under path should be checked for changes

#reload.period: 10s

#==================== Elasticsearch template setting ==========================

setup.template.settings:  
index.number\_of\_shards: 3  
#index.codec: best\_compression  
#\_source.enabled: false

#================================ General =====================================

# The name of the shipper that publishes the network data. It can be used to group

# all the transactions sent by a single shipper in the web interface.

#name:

# The tags of the shipper are included in their own field with each

# transaction published.

#tags: ["service-X", "web-tier"]

# Optional fields that you can specify to add additional information to the

# output.

#fields:

# env: staging

#============================== Dashboards =====================================

# These settings control loading the sample dashboards to the Kibana index. Loading

# the dashboards is disabled by default and can be enabled either by setting the

# options here, or by using the `-setup` CLI flag or the `setup` command.

#setup.dashboards.enabled: false

# The URL from where to download the dashboards archive. By default this URL

# has a value which is computed based on the Beat name and version. For released

# versions, this URL points to the dashboard archive on the [artifacts.elastic.co](http://artifacts.elastic.co)

# website.

#setup.dashboards.url:

#============================== Kibana =====================================

# Starting with Beats version 6.0.0, the dashboards are loaded via the Kibana API.

# This requires a Kibana endpoint configuration.

setup.kibana:

# Kibana Host

# Scheme and port can be left out and will be set to the default (http and 5601)

# In case you specify and additional path, the scheme is required: [http://localhost:5601/path](http://localhost:5601/path)

# IPv6 addresses should always be defined as: https://[2001:db8::1]:5601

#host: "localhost:5601"

# Kibana Space ID

# ID of the Kibana Space into which the dashboards should be loaded. By default,

# the Default Space will be used.

#space.id:

#============================= Elastic Cloud ==================================

# These settings simplify using filebeat with the Elastic Cloud ([https://cloud.elastic.co/](https://cloud.elastic.co/)).

# The cloud.id setting overwrites the `output.elasticsearch.hosts` and

# `setup.kibana.host` options.

# You can find the `cloud.id` in the Elastic Cloud web UI.

#cloud.id:

# The cloud.auth setting overwrites the `output.elasticsearch.username` and

# `output.elasticsearch.password` settings. The format is `<user>:<pass>`.

#cloud.auth:

#================================ Outputs =====================================

# Configure what output to use when sending the data collected by the beat.

#-------------------------- Elasticsearch output ------------------------------  
#output.elasticsearch:

# Array of hosts to connect to.

#hosts: ["localhost:9200"]

# Enabled ilm (beta) to use index lifecycle management instead daily indices.

#ilm.enabled: false

# Optional protocol and basic auth credentials.

#protocol: "https"  
#username: "elastic"  
#password: "changeme"

#----------------------------- Logstash output --------------------------------  
output.logstash:

# The Logstash hosts

hosts: ["localhost:5044"]

# Optional SSL. By default is off.

# List of root certificates for HTTPS server verifications

#ssl.certificate\_authorities: ["/etc/pki/root/ca.pem"]

# Certificate for SSL client authentication

#ssl.certificate: "/etc/pki/client/cert.pem"

# Client Certificate Key

#ssl.key: "/etc/pki/client/cert.key"

#================================ Processors =====================================

# Configure processors to enhance or manipulate events generated by the beat.

processors:

- add\_host\_metadata: ~
- add\_cloud\_metadata: ~

# At debug level, you can selectively enable logging only for some components.

# To enable all selectors use ["\*"]. Examples of other selectors are "beat",

# "publish", "service".

#logging.selectors: ["\*"]

Please format your code, logs or configuration files using `</>` icon as explained in [this guide](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21) and not the citation button. It will make your post more readable.

Or use markdown style like:

````

````

This is the icon to use if you are not using markdown format:

Hi @vinodh023,  
First, you need to specify the log file path in below section.  
quote=""]  
/var/log/\*.log  
[/quote]

After that you need to configure elasticsearch as o/p in below section uncomment and provide IP and port and restart the service.

Hi, I un commented the  
hosts: ["localhost:9200"]  
How can i specify log file path?

paths:  
- /var/log/\*.log  
#- c:\programdata\elasticsearch\logs\*

instead of \* - /var/log/\*.log can I add any value like - /var/log/golanglog.log

Hi @vinodh023,

Yes you can specify the same and restart filebeat service.

Hi @vinodh023,

This is not only for Go lang you can specify any path as you asked in above query and filebeat will send this log to your logstash directly.

I think restart commands like

```auto
sudo /etc/initi.d/filebeat start
sudo /etc/initi.d/filebeat stop
sudo /etc/initi.d/filebeat restart

```

Okay Can I keep these file without any changes?

paths:

- /var/log/_.log
