Hi @emmanuel_stevens_LED

Seeing as you're going to ignore my advice 🙂 which is okay but I'll only be able to help a bit then.

Seeing as you are skipping step 2 above you can try this..

Your logstash configuration is not correct for the output ... This assumes your ran  
`metricbeat setup -e`  
when you first set up

Also this will not work if you setup modules... And need pipelines ... But for base metricbeat it will probably work

```auto
elasticsearch {
      hosts => "http://localhost:9200"
      user => "elastic"
      password => "password"
      manage_template => false
      index => "metricbeat-8.2.3"
      action => "create"
    }

```
