Hi guys,

I am trying to send to logstash using tcp port,

It is working when the code is running on localhost,

however, it should also run remotely.

Maybe I need to use different plugin? (or just try to use rest api?)

When I run: netstat -plnt  
I can see port 5959 is not available from outside the server:

tcp6 0 0 :::5959 :::\* LISTEN 6400/java

logstash config file is:

input {  
tcp {  
port =\> 5959  
codec =\> json  
}  
}  
output {  
elasticsearch {  
hosts =\> ["localhost:9200"]  
index =\> "tests"  
user =\> "elastic"  
password =\> "xxxxxx"  
}

stdout {  
codec =\> rubydebug  
}  
}

your help is appreciated 🙂
