Not able to see all the log files which are under filebeat config in kibana

not able to see all the log files which are under filebeat config in kibana.

In kibana dashboard, choose filebeat-* and in search selected log.file.path.keyword, then selected equals sign i.e : then auto populated list of log files appeared but it is not showing all the log files which are mentioned in filebeat.yml.

Attached is the screen shot from kibana -

We can see tomcat logs and few PingDirectory logs but not others like PingAccess logs etc..

filebeat config -

cat /etc/filebeat/filebeat.yml

Can someone point out what can be the problem?

Thanks in Advance.

That drop down will only show 10 results and might not show the ones you are specifically looking for. If you continue typing do they start to appear?

Or just put PingAccess in the search bar. Do you get any results?

If not then first I would go back to /opt/pingaccess-5.2.0/log/* and check there are current logs in there within the last 7 days (according to your filter).

Thanks @aaron-nimocks for quick help. Its appearing after start typing. It was silly of me to not check first.

Not silly, I asked the same question before. :slight_smile:
