Describe the issue:
my dashboard already running and my filebeat also successfully run but my filebeat are not collecting data from file path i insert and dashboard are not load the logs i want to monitor.
Configuration:
i run ./filebeat -c filebeat.yml -e in powershell and the error i got

hopefully you can help me. i am so sorry because late reply 
Hey @jymbay
I don’t think you can ingest logs like this directly but probably using OpenSearch project logstash will work.
FileBeat ---> Logstash ---> OpenSearch
EDIT: I tried to make Filebeat-7.10 work with OS/OSD 2.13 on Ubuntu and they are running good no issues but the index set doesn’t get created. I created a index template, no joy.
These are All the setting I tried in Filebeat.yml file.
filebeat.inputs:
- type: log
enabled: false
paths:
- /var/log/*.log
- type: filestream
enabled: false
paths:
- /var/log/*.log
filebeat.config.modules:
path: ${path.config}/modules.d/*.yml
reload.enabled: true
setup.template.settings:
index.number_of_shards: 1
setup.ilm.enabled: false
setup.template.name: "filebeat"
setup.template.pattern: "filebeat-*"
setup.kibana:
output.elasticsearch:
hosts: ["127.0.0.1:9200"]
ssl.certificate_authorities:
- /etc/filebeat/root-ca.pem
ssl.certificate: "/etc/filebeat/node1.pem"
ssl.key: "/etc/filebeat/node1-key.pem"
protocol: "https"
username: "admin"
password: "password123"
timeout: 180
bulk_max_size: 2
processors:
- add_host_metadata:
when.not.contains.tags: forwarded
- add_cloud_metadata: ~
- add_docker_metadata: ~
- add_kubernetes_metadata: ~
logging.level: debug
logging.to_files: true
logging.files:
path: /var/log
name: filebeat.log
So I’m not sure. Maybe @pablo has a better idea.
According to the error, logstash can’t resolve the name of the opensearch node.
If you used docker-compose to deploy the OpenSearch Cluster, Filebeat must connect to the same docker network as the OpenSearch cluster to resolve the container name opensearch-node1.
Alternatively, you can point to the docker host and port 9200 instead i.e. localhost:9200.
Please also have a look at the Filebeat configuration provided by @Gsmitt.
Your Filebeat configuration is missing a few options for a secured connection to the OpenSearch node.
You can use either this approach where you provide Filebeat certificate:
or you can fully omit SSL verification.
output.elasticsearch:
hosts: ["127.0.0.1:9200"]
ssl.verification_mode: none
protocol: "https"
username: "admin"
password: "password123"
Regarding the second error, OpenSearch Dashboards is running with HTTP on port 5601. Also, you can’t use OpenSearch Dashboards as the output in the elasticsearch output module.
if you dont mind, can you share the documentation for method you mentioned?
FileBeat —> Logstash —> OpenSearch
Hey,
I used this doc
