Filebeat connection error while publishing events to Logstash

Elastic Stack Beats
1

I set up Filebeat on Windows 10 and trying to ship logs from my local to Logstash.

Configuration in filebeat.yml file

paths:
#- /var/log/*.log
- C:\http_log*

#logstash:
# The Logstash hosts
hosts: ["localhost:5049"]

File Beat configuration in logstash.conf
input {
beats {
host => "localhost"
port => 5049
type => "log"
}
}

I verified the logstash is running on 5049 port but Filebeat is unable to connect to Logstash

2016/06/21 20:55:05.323731 output.go:87: DBG output worker: publish 50 events

I tried telnet to localhost 5059 and looks like I'm able to telnet but still the logs are not getting shipped to Logstash

command used
logstash-plugin install logstash-input-beats

It looks like you have a configuration issue. It is trying to connect to Elasticsearch at http://localhost:5049.

Make sure you have fully commented out elasticsearch and uncommented logstash like so:

logstash:
  hosts: ['localhost:5049']
