ok so i went through it, but i'm confused on a few things with elasticsearch/kibana  
i installed the filebeat on both the elasticsearch/kibana server and the remote host i wanna pull those apache logs from, i enabled the modules on both the elasticsearch/kibana and the remote host. When I check the output of the filebeat log on the remote host I see this:

I can see data in the Discover from that specific server hitting those specific "name.cd.local/error.log access.log etc... but when I go to the Dashboard of Filebeat Apache2 (which I enabled on the Elasticsearch/Kibana) and all I see is this:

which doesn't make sense 'cause the index-pattern is configured:

I already restarted all services so I'm confused
