Hi,  
I am facing some issue with metricbeats connection  
Failed to connect: Get [http://ipaddress:9200](http://ipaddress:9200): proxy connect tcp: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:3128: connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

**Metricbeat**

```auto
metricbeat.modules:
- module: system
  metricsets:
    - cpu
    - filesystem
    - memory
    - network
    - process
  enabled: true
  period: 5s
  processes: ['.*']
  cpu_ticks: false

output.elasticsearch:
  hosts: ["http://ipaddress:9200"]

```

**Elasticsearch:** in elasticsearch.yml

```auto
network.host: ipaddress
http.port: 9200

```
