Hi,
I am having issues with ingesting DHCP log from our DCs. We are using the XDR Collector app. I suspect that the issue is with the filebeat.yml file but cannot figure out what the problem is. I have tried and followed the guide below and copy-paste the example code but no logs are showing up. The yml has been checked and the syntax is correct.
Is there anyone that has successfully managed to ingest those logs?
Thanks!

Hi @bbarmanroy Thank you for your reply. The path is valid but there is something in the filebeat configuraion that is causing it to inactivate the service. I have been doing some labs on this and found out that this configuration is giving an acceptable result:

Hi @PeterBengtslin have you checked if the path to the DHCP logs are valid? Is the issue persistent if you use a filebeat collector?

Hi, I found the problem causing service inactivation. There is a \n inserted between "tokenizer:" and its parameter that has to be removed. The result has to be on one line.

Hi Peter,
I had this issue with the the collector as well and thought it was the yml file also.
I thought when you install the collector it installs the file beat service with it but it dosent.
I had to go to C: > Program data>XDR Collector > Content > filebeat-windows-x86_64 run the install-service-filebeat from powershell and then start the service from powershell as well.
Once i did that it worked for me.
