Hello guys,

I have a small error when running Filebeat -e. I was successfully able to install and run Metricbeats, however there is an issue running filebeats.

this is the error i'm getting:

Have you tried configuring the Kibana endpoint? It sounds like Filebeat is unable to connect. Try setting:

setup.kibana.host: "http://localhost:5601"

Replace localhost with the host where Kibana is running. See https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/setup-kibana-endpoint.html:

If this doesn't resolve your issue, please provide the following info:

• The version of Filebeat you're using
• Your config (formatted as code) with sensitive values removed

Please share your full configuration (contents of filebeat.yml) with sensitive values redacted. Make sure you format the config as code.
