filebeat doesn't forward to logstash - configuration

Question

I have configured filebeat as it is descripted at elastic.co
The Problem is that when I add a new log-file the data is not uploaded to logstash. What can be the problem?
I already tried different config ways but it didn't work at all.
################### Filebeat Configuration Example #########################
############################# Filebeat ######################################
filebeat:
# List of prospectors to fetch data.
prospectors:
-
paths:
- /Users/apps/*.log
input_type: log
###############################################################################
############################# Libbeat Config ##################################
# Base config file used by all other beats for using libbeat features
############################# Output ##########################################
output:
elasticsearch:
hosts: ["localhost:9200"]
worker: 1
index: "filebeat"
template:
path: "filebeat.template.json"
### Logstash as output
logstash:
# The Logstash hosts
hosts: ["localhost:5044"]
index: filebeat
############################# Shipper #########################################
############################# Logging #########################################
# There are three options for the log ouput: syslog, file, stderr.
# Under Windos systems, the log files are per default sent to the file output,
# under all other system per default to syslog.
logging:
files:
rotateeverybytes: 10485760 # = 10MB
Config in logstash.conf:
input {
beats {
port => 5044
}
}
output {
elasticsearch {
hosts => ["localhost:9200"]
manage_template => true
index => "%{[#metadata][beat]}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
document_type => "%{[#metadata][type]}"
document_id => "%{fingerprint}"
}
}

Answer 1

You are both sending Elasticsearch and logstash. You need to remove elasticsearch part if you want to send it to logstash. Taken from https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/config-filebeat-logstash.html:
If you want to use Logstash to perform additional processing on the
data collected by Filebeat, you need to configure Filebeat to use
Logstash.
To do this, you edit the Filebeat configuration file to disable the
Elasticsearch output by commenting it out and enable the Logstash
output by uncommenting the logstash section

Answer 2

Can you check the worker count in filebeat.yml as below?
### Logstash as output
logstash:
# The Logstash hosts
hosts: ["localhost:5044"]
# Number of workers per Logstash host.
worker: 1
You should add worker count in the logstash part
