=== Set up and run the module

Before doing these steps, verify that {es} and {kib} are running and
that {es} is ready to receive data from {beatname_uc}.

If you're running our
https://www.elastic.co/cloud/elasticsearch-service[hosted {es} Service] on
Elastic Cloud, or you've enabled security in {es} and {kib}, you need to specify
additional connection information before setting up and running the module. See
<<filebeat-modules-quickstart>> for the complete setup.

To set up and run the module:

. Enable the module:
+
include::./enable-modules-command.asciidoc[]
+
This command enables the module config defined in the `modules.d` directory. See
<<configuration-{beatname_lc}-modules>> for other ways to enable modules.
+
To see a list of enabled and disabled modules, run:
+
include::./list-modules-command.asciidoc[]

. Set up the initial environment:
+
include::./setup-command.asciidoc[]

. Run {beatname_uc}.
+
If your logs aren't in the default location, see
<<configuring-{modulename}-module>>, then run {beatname_uc} after you've
set the paths variable.
+
include::./run-command.asciidoc[]

include::./visualize-data.asciidoc[]
