I want to have the SYSLOG logs, and I thought I had that by enabling the Logstash-\* index

First, did you successfully collect syslog data with filebeat or with logstash?  
If so, how?

Did you use that? [Syslog input | Filebeat Reference [7.13] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-input-syslog.html)
