Hi all, I'm trying to setup a good alarming and visualization on Kibana for my haproxy setup using ELK and Filebeat. But everytime I use Filebeat in-built module for haproxy and goes to the step of setting up environment variables, it throws following error: `instance/beat.go:802 Exiting: 1 error: error loading config file` Need help configuring it! Thanks in advance. ---

does error says something more? do you provide a config path? maybe config is incorrectly written or has incorrect permissions ---

Hey @Michal_Pristas, I passed all the steps in this doc [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/7.0/filebeat-module-haproxy.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/7.0/filebeat-module-haproxy.html) After setting up the initial variable, I got this message: Loaded machine learning job configurations Also I've made changes in haproxy.yml -\> var.paths and var.input accordingly Started filebeat. But still I'm not able to see data on kibana. ---

can you share a config? how is your output defined? did the previous error go away? (`instance/beat.go:802 Exiting: 1 error: error loading config file`) ---

Hey @Michal_Pristas. So the previous error went off. I initiated the entire setup from scratch and proceeded with normal setup. So after few minutes I got all data visualized on Kibana. Thanks for your help 🙂 ---
