Elastic Stack Beats

HI.
I am getting these error messages and I have the most basic configuration of Logstash/FileBeat.

error

ERR Connecting error publishing events (retrying): Get http://172.30.17.118:5044: read tcp 172.30.17.118:59086->172.30.17.118:5044: wsarecv: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.

you configured the elasticsearch output in filebeat.yml (also check indentation being correct, looks off).
