Filebeat sends log files to Logstash or directly to Elasticsearch.

To get started with Filebeat, you need to set up Elasticsearch on your localhost first. After that, start Filebeat with:

 ./filebeat -c filebeat.yml -e

This will start Filebeat and send the data to your Elasticsearch instance. To load the dashboards for Filebeat into Kibana, run:

./filebeat setup -e
