I'm trying to load software logs from zeek into Elasticsearch.

But if I run filebeat after adding software log path to zeek.yml in filebeat then I'm getting error :

"Exiting: Failed to start crawler: creating module reloader failed: could not create module registry for filesets: fileset zeek/software is configured but doesn't exist".

How can this be resolved ?

Can you please share your `zeek.yml`

Did you enable the module?

`filebeat modules enable zeek`

There isn't a module for the zeek software log.

Yes but it doesn't include every zeek log file. There is no fileset for the software.log.

@Chandrapaul Please share your `zeek.yml` then perhaps we can help you / understand what you are trying to accomplish.

as @legoguy1000 that is not a valid fileset you need to remove that.

If you want to collect those logs you will need to set up a regular [filestream input.](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-input-filestream.html)
