I have Elastic and Kibana installed on a single host and they are working well also, I have the snort IPS/IDS installed on a Linux server. I want to ship snort logs to Kibana.
Have you check that Kibana is running? ps aux and netstat -tlpn should be active port 5601
Might be server.host is set to the local host, check in kibana.yml:
Kibana is configured on host 172.31.16.100 and port 5601. It is working fine and it gets some beats from winlogbeat and packetbeat from two Windows machines without any problems. But the problem is just with filebeat on Linux server. The server it self can access Kibana and it gets a response when I do curl. That's the weird thing.
Thanks for your response Rios and appreciate your help!
I added an entry in the DNS host file for the Kibana and it connected.
But now when I run ./filebeat setup -e I get this error msg:

do you have any idea? here is my filebeat.yml
##################### Filebeat Configuration Example #########################
# This file is an example configuration file highlighting only the most common

# you can use different inputs for various configurations.
# Below are the input specific configurations.

# Kibana Space ID
# ID of the Kibana Space into which the dashboards should be loaded. By default,

# =============================== Elastic Cloud ================================
# These settings simplify using Filebeat with the Elastic Cloud (https://cloud.elastic.co/).

# You can find the `cloud.id` in the Elastic Cloud web UI.

# Sets log level. The default log level is info.
# Available log levels are: error, warning, info, debug
#logging.level: debug
# At debug level, you can selectively enable logging only for some components.
# To enable all selectors use ["*"]. Examples of other selectors are "beat",
# "publisher", "service".
#logging.selectors: ["*"]
# ============================= X-Pack Monitoring ==============================
# Filebeat can export internal metrics to a central Elasticsearch monitoring
# cluster. This requires xpack monitoring to be enabled in Elasticsearch. The
# reporting is disabled by default.
# Set to true to enable the monitoring reporter.
#monitoring.enabled: false
# Sets the UUID of the Elasticsearch cluster under which monitoring data for this
# Filebeat instance will appear in the Stack Monitoring UI. If output.elasticsearch
# is enabled, the UUID is derived from the Elasticsearch cluster referenced by output.elasticsearch.
#monitoring.cluster_uuid:
# Uncomment to send the metrics to Elasticsearch. Most settings from the
# Elasticsearch output are accepted here as well.
# Note that the settings should point to your Elasticsearch *monitoring* cluster.
# Any setting that is not set is automatically inherited from the Elasticsearch
# output configuration, so if you have the Elasticsearch output configured such
# that it is pointing to your Elasticsearch monitoring cluster, you can simply
# uncomment the following line.

There were some indentation issues in the snort.yml, I fixed it. Now when I run ./filebeat setup -e I get the below and I don't see any logs in Kibana.
