I [installed](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/installing-xpack.html) x-pack to elastic, logstash, kibana and now filebeat can't sent to logstash: ``` ERR Connecting error publishing events (retrying): read tcp 192.168.100.2:54230->192.168.100.2:5044: i/o timeout ``` I configure filebeat to pull directly to elastic with this [HowTo](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/beats.html). It works well. But I need use pull through logstash. Please, help to configure it (cant find manual)? ---

Can you share your filebeat output and logstash input configuration? ---

logstash has no additinal authentication options. Use TLS client authentication if you want to authenticate clients. The I/O timeout is filebeat waiting for ACK from logstash. Which logstash version are you using? ---

logstash 5.6.3 filebeat 5.6.3 ---

Can you try without TLS? Have you checked with netstat if the connection is still open in LS? Have you had a look at logstash logs? You can also try to increate the `timeout` setting in filebeat. But default is already at `60s`. Is logstash stuck on the output? Try a minimal config like: ```auto input { beats { port => 5044 } } output { stdout { codec => dots } } ``` and filebeat: ```auto filebeat.prospectors: - input_type: log paths: - /var/log/nginx/access.log - /var/log/nginx/error.log fields.log_type: nginx output.logstash: hosts: ["localhost:5044"] ``` Is this configuration working for you? ---

Thanks. It works without TLS. And I found one more error. I forgot login\password ``` output { elasticsearch { user => logstash_internal password => changeme1 }} ``` ---

Next let us try with TLS enabled: filebeat.yml ```auto filebeat.prospectors: - input_type: log paths: - /var/log/nginx/access.log - /var/log/nginx/error.log fields.log_type: nginx output.logstash: hosts: ["localhost:5044"] ssl.certificate_authorities: ["/etc/pki/tls/certs/logstash-forwarder.crt"] ``` and logstash: ```auto input { beats { port => 5044 ssl => true ssl_certificate => "/etc/pki/tls/certs/logstash-forwarder.crt" ssl_key => "/etc/pki/tls/private/logstash-forwarder.key" } } output { stdout { codec => dots } } ``` ---
