I have filebeat running as a Windows Service and configured to use logstash to send files to [logz.io](http://logz.io) ([listener.logz.io](http://listener.logz.io)).

Based on the registry and filebeat.log, it appears that filebeat is able to detect new files to process, however, I do not see any logs on [logz.io](http://logz.io) and running Wireshark on the VM doesn't show any activity.

Is it possible that filebeat is not sending out a file that it has processed?

Running: filebeat 6.3.2

```

Hi @quetiMPorta and welcome 🙂

Indeed your configuration looks fine, can you see any connectivity problem in the filebeat logs?  
It'd be interesting to check also the logstash logs.
