I´m having similar issue when I try to connect to my logstash

Logstash version 2.0.0  
Filebeat 1.0.1

Here the error

INFO Connecting error publishing events (retrying): dial tcp 192.168.50.5:14560: getsockopt: connection refused  
This is my logstash configuration

input {  
beats {  
codec =\> json  
port =\> 14560  
}  
}  
output {  
elasticsearch {hosts=\> localhost}  
stdout {codec = \> rubydebug}  
}

I install the filebeat logstash plugin as I read it

`./plugin install logstash-input-beats`  
I´m completely run out of ideas, and I would love to use this framework, but it´s seems not responding at all.  
Any ideas would be great.

Regards.

What does your Filebeat configuration look like? Are you able to telnet to the Logstash instance from the node where Filebeat is installed?

Nope I cannot telnet, even on the same machine curl localhost:14560 cannot give me nothing. Or telnet from outside, so first thing that I need to figure out is what's wrong with logstash configuration. Since Upgrade to version 2.0 and I add the input plugin beats I cannot reach logstash. Previously with version 1.4.2 and Input { tcp{port =\>14560}} I was able to telnet to localhost:14560. But now not anymore.  
The thing is, that when I run logstash he tell me that configuration is fine and if I use beats plugin please report whatever bug that I found, so I guess configuration was fine.

maybe let's try with the most simple config first:

```auto
input {
  beats {
    port => 14560
  }
}
output {
    stdout {codec = > rubydebug}
}

```

Can you telnet into logstash when using this config? Anything in logstash logs?
