Hi everyone

I have up my ELK server working, and I put a filebeat in another machine with filebeat installed but filebeat can not send inputs to elasticsearch, the error says "Exiting: couldn't connect to any of the configured Elasticsearch hosts. Errors: [error connecting to Elasticsearch at [http://192.168.194.142:9200](http://192.168.194.142:9200): 503 Service Unavailable: "  
All is in a virtual box environment, I made ping between machines and all works so... I had problem with ssl configuration but I put all in http, could it be the problem?

What a fu... Have a nice day, not mine.
