Hi,  
I have installed filebeat and elastic search successfully. I configured the local log file path in the filebeats.yml and output to elastic search. I am not seeing any error in filebeat log but the logs are not pushed nothing logged in the logger.

Please properly format logs and configs using the `</>`-Button.

Looks like you have no input enabled/configured.
