filebeat config:

#----------------------------- Logstash output --------------------------------
output.logstash:
  # The Logstash hosts
  hosts: ["xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:15400"]

  # Optional SSL. By default is off.
  # List of root certificates for HTTPS server verifications
  ssl.certificate_authorities: ["/etc/pki/ca_api/client/ca.crt"]

  # Certificate for SSL client authentication
  ssl.certificate: "/etc/pki/ca_api/client/client.crt"

  # Client Certificate Key
  ssl.key: "/etc/pki/ca_api/client/client.key"
  ssl.key_passphrase: "xxxxxxxx"

Logstash config:

input {
  beats {
    host => "0.0.0.0"
    port => 5044 # which pointer by xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:15400
}
}

Anyone can help with above issue. Thanks.

Can you check if you are receiving any data on your Logstash machine from the Beats machine on port 5044?

One way to do this would be to temporarily stop your Logstash pipeline and run this on your Logstash machine:

nc -lp 5044 > /tmp/data
``

Then see if the size of `/tmp/data` is growing.
