Before modifying configuration settings, make sure you’ve completed the configuration steps in the Getting Started.

The Filebeat configuration file, filebeat.yml, uses YAML for its syntax. See the Config File Format section of the Beats Platform Reference for more about the structure of the config file.

The configuration options are described in the following sections. After changing configuration settings, you need to restart Filebeat to pick up the changes.
