How do i configure my logstash config file to input from a different beats server(not on localhost).
Generally it is this :-
```
input{
beats{
port => "5044"
}
```
}
But now i have beats on a different server(Not on localhost). How should i change it this?

You don't need to change anything. It's Filebeat that connects to Logstash.

Thanks for the reply 🙂
I am guessing it showed error because i changed the logstash input to the "server name" and the port number(which is there by default).
