I have ES 5.6.3 and logstash 5.4 installed on my local system whereas I have filebeat 5.4 installed in another system. Whenever I am trying to run logstash, I get the following error

What's up with all the asterisks?

Client IP as in the address of the host running Filebeat? No, you've misunderstood what the `host` option does. Remove it.
