I have an ELK stack locally hosted (v7.0) on a Windows IIS web server and the logs are not making it to the server. Server is running, I can reach the reserved URL and get back the generic json package saying Elasticsearch is running and I can log into Kibana just fine, there's just no logs to see.

I have a bufferBaseFilename set in the apps that are logging, and when I go to that location the logs are actually there, properly indexed and all. I'm wondering why it never gets synced back to the server? It seems like a connection issue, but all the network stuff checks out. I'm probably missing something simple. Any thoughts? Let me know if you need more information!
