I was at the Elasticon 2018 and I was told that the ability to monitor filebeats inside of Kibana was available in 6.2 just like we have it for elasticsearch, kibana & logstash. I am not seeing how to turn that on inside of filebeats? Any help would be appreciated.

Monitor status of filebeats in Kibana

Are you using X-Pack? You need X-pack to do that, the basic license, which is free, allows monitoring.
