Hi folks,

I have issue for log collecting when I installed the beats on outside of AWS Ec2 instances.  
My log architecture is beats \>\> kafka (ec2 vm) \>\> logstash (ec2 vm) \>\> elastic cloud

I can collect the logs if I installed beats on ec2 instances. But I can not collect the logs if I install the beats on azure vm, (the connection between auditbeat and kafla is etablished, no errors on logstash and kafka services as well)
