Looks like your path is off a little. If you want all the files in that directory you need to use the * as in /home/logs/*

Here is a generic one that grabs all files ending in log

# Needed for Graylog
fields_under_root: true
fields.collector_node_id: ${sidecar.nodeName}
fields.gl2_source_collector: ${sidecar.nodeId}

filebeat.inputs:
- input_type: log
  paths:
    - /var/log/*.log
  type: log
output.logstash:
   hosts: 
   - ${user.BeatsInput}
path:
  data: /var/cache/graylog-sidecar/filebeat/data
  logs: /var/log/graylog-sidecar

Hello,

Adding on to @tmacgbay statement.

@raees123

My graylog server is running within container so is my sidecar service .

Did you insure that port “5044” is opened?

Also I noticed you using port 8007 for Graylog’s URL API ?

graylog2-sidecar-docker

If I run my sidecar container with the above suggestion I get followign erros in my container logs
