Hi !

I am trying to send the logs to logstash using filebeats  
I'm getting this error

I ran the commands :

1. sudo /etc/init.d/filebeat start and then after I ran

2. ./filebeat -e -v -c filebeat.yml

I understood there is a connection problem between filebeat and logstash  
Could any one help with this?

Thanks!

Hello,

Can you post your logstash pipeline to receive this input and the logstash log to see if the listener started? And also your filebeat configuration?

Your filebeat output should be something like that.

```auto
output.logstash:
  hosts: ["127.0.0.1:5044"]

```

Your input in the logstash configuration should be something like that.

```auto
input {
    beats {
        port => 5044
    }
}

```

Are the configurations like the ones above?
