Elastic Stack Beats

Hi,

I am using filebeat with logstash-> ElasticSearch. I have configured same port on filebeat and logstash but I am getting error : getsockopt: connection refused

Filebeat.yml

indent preformatted text by 4 spaces

#=========================== Filebeat prospectors =============================

filebeat.prospectors:

Each - is a prospector. Most options can be set at the prospector level, so

you can use different prospectors for various configurations.

Below are the prospector specific configurations.

  • input_type: log

    Paths that should be crawled and fetched. Glob based paths.

    paths:

    • /abc/xyz/metrics.log*

#----------------------------- Logstash output --------------------------------
#output.logstash:

The Logstash hosts

#hosts: ["localhost:5044"]

hosts: ["xx.xx.xx.xx:96xx"]

==============================================================================

logstash config file:

input {
beats {
type => xyz
port => 9xxx

}
}

filter {
grok { match => ["message", "%{TIMESTAMP_ISO8601:timestamp}%{SPACE}%{GREEDYDATA}%{SPACE}ABCId:%{UUID:id}%{SPACE}%{GREEDYDATA}%{SPACE}%{WORD}.%{WORD:method}.%{WORD:class} %{WORD}: %{INT:milliseconds}"]}

mutate {
convert => {"milliseconds" => "integer"}
}
date {

           locale => "en"

           match => [ "timestamp", "yyyy-MM-dd mm:ss:SS,ZZZ", "ISO8601" ]

           target => "timestamp"

        
    }

}
output {
elasticsearch {
hosts => ["xx.xx.xx.xx:9xxx", "xx.xx.xx.xx:9xxx"]
index => "xyz-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
}

    stdout { codec => rubydebug }

}

==========================================================

filebeat log:

2017-10-10T11:09:52-07:00 ERR Connecting error publishing events (retrying): Get http://10.xx.xx.xx:9xxx: dial tcp 10.xx.xx.xx:9xxx: getsockopt: connection refused

Please help me to solve it.

Thanks!

Hello,

By looking at your log output I think you have a misconfigured filebeat.yml,
I believe filebeat is trying to reach logstash with the HTTP protocol, buts it's hard to tell
since the layout of the configuration is a bit messed up.

Could you repost your complete FB configuration and use the following syntax?

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for reply!

Please find FB configuration:

###################### Filebeat Configuration Example #########################

# This file is an example configuration file highlighting only the most common
# options. The filebeat.full.yml file from the same directory contains all the
# supported options with more comments. You can use it as a reference.

# You can find the full configuration reference here:

filebeat.prospectors:

# Each - is a prospector. Most options can be set at the prospector level, so

# Below are the prospector specific configurations.

- input_type: log

  # Paths that should be crawled and fetched. Glob based paths.
  paths:
    - /abc/xyz/metrics.log*

   # - /var/log/*.log
    #- c:\programdata\elasticsearch\logs\*

  # Exclude lines. A list of regular expressions to match. It drops the lines that are

  # Include lines. A list of regular expressions to match. It exports the lines that are
  # matching any regular expression from the list.
  #include_lines: ["^ERR", "^WARN"]

  # Exclude files. A list of regular expressions to match. Filebeat drops the files that

  # Optional additional fields. These field can be freely picked
  # to add additional information to the crawled log files for filtering
  #fields:

  ### Multiline options

  # Mutiline can be used for log messages spanning multiple lines. This is common
  # for Java Stack Traces or C-Line Continuation

  # The regexp Pattern that has to be matched. The example pattern matches all lines starting with [
  #multiline.pattern: ^\[

  # Defines if the pattern set under pattern should be negated or not. Default is false.
  #multiline.negate: false

  # Match can be set to "after" or "before". It is used to define if lines should be append to a pattern
  # that was (not) matched before or after or as long as a pattern is not matched based on negate.
  # Note: After is the equivalent to previous and before is the equivalent to to next in Logstash
  #multiline.match: after

Please help...

Thanks!

Got it!

I made stupid mistake. Output.Logstash is commented out and Output.Elasticsearch was there, changed it and now its working.

Thanks for support!
