Hi,

How can I see the files which are transferred from filebeat to logstash?  
I am not able to figure it that filebeat is sending data to Logstash or not ?

How can I confirm and how can I read the same files in logstash ?

Thanks and Regards,  
Karunesh Upadhyay

IIRC the Filebeat logs will give you an idea of what's happening, at least if you crank up the log level.
