Hi , Filebeat is not able to send data to logstash server , I am getting below error from filebeat.log file Failed to connect: Get **http://**.20. **.70:5044:** read tcp **20.**.62:35480-\> **.20.**.70:5044: read: connection reset by peer" But, telnet to 5044 works fine firewall is off on both machines. selinux is disabled. Can you someone suggest how to trouble shoot this? ---

The connection is established, but eventually closed by Logstash or the machine Logstash runs on. When Filebeat tries to publish it get a 'TCP RST' package notifying it the connection has actually been closed. Which Logstash/Filebeat versions are you using? Is there a chance filebeat didn't send any data for a "long" time? Normally filebeat tries to reconnect. No events are dropped. ---
