Hello,

At the moment I try to send only critical, warning en errors to my Kibana dashboard. It does work, but only when I restart Winlogbeat. It must sent the logs 24/7.

Any help?

Any error messages?  
What Windows System do you use?  
Which Elastic-Stack components?  
Which versions?

I think we need more information about your environment 🙂

Already fixed it, thanks! Had the full path instead of the name in my winlogbeat.yml
