I checked that TCP connection was established with mac machine where ELK setup is running. I am trying to output the logs to logstash. Following are my packetbeat.yml and logs I collected by running packetbeat.exe in debug mode. I checked somewhere that Logs folder should be created, which is not being created. Thanks in advance. (Nice software, Running fine on MAC)
**packetbeat.yml**
```
interfaces:
device: 0
protocols:
http:
ports: [80, 8080]
output:
logstash:
hosts: ["0.tcp.ngrok.io:14508"]
shipper:
```
**PS C:\Program Files\Packetbeat\> & "C:\Program Files\Packetbeat\packetbeat.exe" -c "C:\Program Files\Packetbeat\packetbeat.yml" -e -v -d "\*"**

No idea about windows from my side, but in your logs I don't see any HTTP being processed at all. When running with `-d '*'` the http module should print some logs when parsing messages. I see you have multiple IP addresses, have you configured the correct device?
