Struggling to get data into the cluster

[tombarnsley]

Hi there,

I am really struggling to get data into the ES cluster from filebeats.

Here are the services in the namespace I have deployed them.

elasticsearch ClusterIP 10.254.136.171 9200/TCP
elasticsearch-data ClusterIP None 9300/TCP elasticsearch-discovery ClusterIP 10.254.241.191 9300/TCP

Here is the file beats .yaml

apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: filebeat-config
  namespace: vanti
  labels:
    k8s-app: filebeat
    kubernetes.io/cluster-service: "true"
data:
  filebeat.yml: |-
    filebeat.config:
      prospectors:
        # Mounted `filebeat-prospectors` configmap:
        path: ${path.config}/prospectors.d/*.yml
        # Reload prospectors configs as they change:
        reload.enabled: true
      modules:
        path: ${path.config}/modules.d/*.yml
        # Reload module configs as they change:
        reload.enabled: true

    processors:
      - add_cloud_metadata:

    cloud.id: ${ELASTIC_CLOUD_ID}
    cloud.auth: ${ELASTIC_CLOUD_AUTH}

    output.elasticsearch:
      hosts: elasticsearch.vanti:9200
      username: ${ELASTICSEARCH_USERNAME}
      password: ${ELASTICSEARCH_PASSWORD}

Nothing is showing any errors in the logs whatsoever.
However when I connect to the console of one of the containers in the namespace and run `curl -XGET 'elasticsearch.vanti:9200/_cat/indices?v&pretty'`
I can see no indecies being created not does kibana.

We managed to sort this issue out. It appeared it was SElinux and Docker not logging to the correct place.
