Hi all, I am Naive to elasticsearch and logstash. Logstash suddenly. When I looked in to the logs parsed and I can only see the following. Jul 31 14:55:16 logs 2014-07-31T14:55:16+02:00 .... logstash-forwarder[22514]: 2014/07/31 14:55:16.595025 Failure connecting to x.x,x.x: dial tcp x.x.x.x:x: connection refused. Can anyone help to rectify this. I can not find any solution. Thanks in advance! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Hey this means, that the logstash forwarder could not connect to its configured endpoint, because that endpoint does not seem to run. Check if that service is up and running or maybe just misconfigured. --Alex On Thu, Jul 31, 2014 at 2:56 PM, Indirajith V [indirajithv@gmail.com](mailto:indirajithv@gmail.com) wrote: > Hi all, I am Naive to elasticsearch and logstash.
