Filebeat Docker - Elasticsearch Host Issue

Hi @mwsprotte Welcome to the community! Docker Networking Issue not Elastic... Another explanation Might be worth reading... if you are new to docker try using host.docker.internal docker run \ --net=elastic docker.elastic.co/beats/filebeat:7.17.4 \ setup -E setup.kibana.host=host.docker.internal:5601 \ -E output.elasticsearch.hosts=["https://host.docker.internal:9200"]

try using

elasticsearch.host: http://host.docker.internal:9200
