If I update the filebeat.yml file with the log file path and host address of my elasticsearch,that will help me to parse the data from filebeat to elastic.ryt??  
If yes,can you please tell me the steps to do so?

Hi,

yes you can do this.

Please read filebeat documentation for the same and implement step by step and if you are getting any error/issue then please paste your error logs and configuration file.

Link where you will get the help to configure filebeat:
