At my end also logstash is listening on ipv6 and its working fine. ELK team also confirm same in below post:

[logstash on ipv6](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/logstash-listening-on-tcp6-only/82026)

So it seems firewall rule or service issue. Please check the logstash log also is there any error?

Thanks.
