i intend to use filebeat for making multiline events into a sequence of events and then use logstash grok patterns to create index and filter data.  
while when i use only logstash the index is created in a manner i want to and everything runs fine but when i try it using filebeat-\> logstash-\> elasticsearch-\> kibana the grok patterns dont work and the data parsing is done without the logstash filters.  
can someone please suggest where should i look in order make the logstash filters work.  
this is the filbeat config:

filebeat.prospectors:

- type: "bwlogsqa"  
enabled: true  
paths:

output.logstash:  
hosts: ["127.0.0.1:5044"]
