I got Failed to connect: dial tcp x.x.x.x:5044: getsockopt: connection refused
**/etc/filebeat/filebeat.yml**
filebeat.prospectors:
- input\_type: log
paths:
- /var/log/cms/\*.log
output.logstash:
hosts: ["x.x.x.x:5044"]
**Could you suggest me to fix it?**

Is Logstash running?
Is the host Logstash runs on reachable?
Have you configured the Beats input with port 5044 in Logstash?
Do you have a firewall blocking port 5044?

Now I have fixed it but update to latest one.
