Error ERROR#011[publisher\_pipeline\_output]#011pipeline/output.go:154#011Failed to connect to backoff(async(tcp://192.168.10.14:5044)).  
I can not connect on port 5044 with logstash! On the logstash server port 5044 is open and listening.  
Question:

1. How can I connect to 5044 ???
2. Is it possible to do this WITHOUT using ssl?
3. Is it possible to do this WITHOUT using Docker?

So you're not using SSL currently and are you using docker containers for Filebeat and /or Logstash? If so, have you exposed the ports properly? Are you sure there's not firewall blocking the connection?

I don't use ssl. I don't use docker. there is no firewall. Virtual machine on ProxMox, on 1VM - elastic and logstash - port 5044 is listened to; 2VM -filebeate.

Until the Grok filter is properly compiled, the port will not listen.
