I have been trying hard to get logs to my elk stack from a windows server using filebeat.  
I can get the logs from inetpub iis logs but when i specify my logs then i couldnt get it on kibana.  
Here is my filebeat.yml config:

also this is the logstash section so you may have a faster response if you posted here [https://discuss.elastic.co/c/beats/filebeat](https://discuss.elastic.co/c/beats/filebeat) although I'm sure one of the moderators will move it there soon if that is where it should be
