Why Filebeat cannot start and work correctly on windows

What is the content of that file what are the first few lines?

Are you sure that filebeat has permission to read?

Not sure what to tell you

Doesn't Program Data have a space in it?

Also try putting the path in quotes

@stephenb

I am not sure filebeat has permission to my path .
No there are not any space and this is exactly path

c:\ProgramData\Veeam\Backup\

Now I changed the path such as follow

'c:\ProgramData\Veeam\Backup\Svc.VeeamBackup'

did not any change in my elastic

Not sure what to tell you. I would create a test file with a couple log lines in it and try another file... Clearly there's something basic wrong. I just can't see it.

You definitely need to use quotes for the path see here

Sorry I can't help but you just need to keep working on it.

Create a test file, put it in a simple directory and test that out.

You do need to validate that the file has read permission. It's your server so you need to check that and figure it out
