Sending logs from Filebeat(windows) to Logstash(Linux)

[Neelam_Zanvar]

Hi,
I have installed filebeat on windows machine and configured it to send logs to logstash.
Here is my filebeat config

filebeat.inputs:

# Each - is an input. Most options can be set at the input level, so
# you can use different inputs for various configurations.
# Below are the input specific configurations.

# filestream is an input for collecting log messages from files.
- type: log
  enabled: true
  paths:
    - D:\Tracability\Apache.log
  fields:
    type: apache_3dx
  fields_under_root: true
- type: log
  enabled: true
  paths:
    - D:\Tracability\*.txt
  fields:
    type: services_3dx
  fields_under_root: true
- type: log
  enabled: true
  paths:
    - D:\Tracability\merged_logfile.log
  fields:
    type: 3dx_merged
  fields_under_root: true
- type: syslog
  enabled: false

output.logstash:
  # The Logstash hosts
  hosts: ["logstash_ip:5044"]

Here is my logstash config

input {
  beats {
    port => 5044
  }
}

output {
  elasticsearch {
    hosts => "http://elastic_ip:9200"
    index => "%{type}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
    user => "elastic"
    password => "pwd"
  }
}

This logstash pipeline works fine with other filebeat sources which are on linux. But this is not working. There is no error in logs
The output of command
.\filebeat -e -c "C:\Program Files\Filebeat\filebeat.yml" test output
is fine
The output of command .\filebeat -e -c "C:\Program Files\Filebeat\filebeat.yml" -d "publish" also looks like the logs r picking up. But the index is not getting created. Not sure where its going wrong

You need to share what you have in filebeat logs, without the logs it is impossible to know what is happening.

Also, you need to enclose the paths in quotes.

- type: log
  enabled: true
  paths:
    - 'D:\Tracability\*.txt'
  fields:
    type: services_3dx
  fields_under_root: true

Thank you for the quick response. The '' on the logpath solved the problem. Thank you!
