When I configure filebeat on Windows, my Logstash gives the following error:
```
{:timestamp=>"2015-11-17T14:50:30.766000+0000", :message=>"Beats input: unhandled exception", :exception=>#, :backtrace=>["/var/logstash-2.0.0/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/logstash-input-beats-0.9.6/lib/lumberjack/beats/server.rb:225:in `handle_version'", "/var/logstash-2.0.0/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/logstash-input-beats-0.9.6/lib/lumberjack/beats/server.rb:210:in `header'", "/var/logstash-2.0.0/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/logstash-input-beats-0.9.6/lib/lumberjack/beats/server.rb:163:in `feed'", "/var/logstash-2.0.0/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/logstash-input-beats-0.9.6/lib/lumberjack/beats/server.rb:338:in `read_socket'", "/var/logstash-2.0.0/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/logstash-input-beats-0.9.6/lib/lumberjack/beats/server.rb:315:in `run'", "/var/logstash-2.0.0/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/logstash-input-beats-0.9.6/lib/logstash/inputs/beats.rb:169:in `invoke'", "org/jruby/RubyProc.java:271:in `call'", "/var/logstash-2.0.0/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/concurrent-ruby-0.9.1-java/lib/concurrent/executor/executor_service.rb:515:in `run'", "Concurrent$$JavaExecutorService$$Job_1860096801.gen:13:in `run'"], :level=>:error}
```
However, Filebeat **works on Linux**. I am using the same config file in both.
```
filebeat:
prospectors:
-
paths:
- C:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles\W3SVC14\*
input_type: log
fields:
system: kanboard
group: webserver
fields_under_root: false
document_type: iis
registry_file: "C:/ProgramData/filebeat/registry"
config_dir:
output:
elasticsearch:
enabled: true
hosts: ["kibana.com:5044"]
shipper:
tags: ["filebeat", "iis"]
```
Here's the config on Linux that works:
```
filebeat:
prospectors:
-
paths:
- /var/log/httpd/*access*
input_type: log
fields:
system: kanboard
group: webserver
fields_under_root: true
document_type: apache
registry_file: .filebeat
config_dir:
output:
logstash:
enabled: true
hosts: ["kibana.com:5044"]
shipper:
tags: ["filebeat"]
```

sorry my bad. I had the elasticsearch configured on the filebeat yml, not logstash. We can close this issue.

@Omar_Al_Zabir can you explain? I got the same error.
Thanks

Both logstash and elasticsearch sections were enabled. I had to comment out the elasticsearch part.
