Hi, I have installed metricbeat on windows and configured it to send logs/metric to logstash. However it fails with below error message: 017-11-10T14:13:36+05:30 ERR Failed to publish events (host: 10.5.52.136:5044:10200), caused by: read tcp 10.5.52.168:61573-\>10.5.52.136:5044: i/o timeout 2017-11-10T14:13:36+05:30 INFO Error publishing events (retrying): read tcp 10.5.52.168:61573-\>10.5.52.136:5044: i/o timeout 2017-11-10T14:14:00+05:30 INFO Non-zero metrics in the last 30s: libbeat.logstash.publish.read\_errors=1 libbeat.logstash.published\_but\_not\_acked\_events=1115 2017-11-10T14:14:30+05:30 INFO No non-zero metrics in the last 30s 2017-11-10T14:15:00+05:30 INFO Non-zero metrics in the last 30s: libbeat.logstash.call\_count.PublishEvents=1 libbeat.logstash.publish.write\_bytes=124910 Thanks. ---

Metricbeat is not receiving the ACK or the heartbeat signal (send every 5s) from logstash (default timeout is 60s). Which version of Logstash are you using? How many beats have you send to Logstash? ---

metricbeat version 5.6.4 (amd64), libbeat 5.6.4 Can the version be the issue? ---

Do you have any kind of devices/firewall in between? Connection refused and not even getting an ACK within 60s is quite weird. How many beats have you send to Logstash? ---
