Hi all  
Im trying to send messages from filebeat to logstash, but the messages dont arrive.  
The ports is open.  
this is the config

> input {  
> beats {  
> client\_inactivity\_timeout =\> 3000  
> port =\> 5049  
> }  
> }

> output.logstash:  
> hosts: ["HOST:5049"]

> telnet HOST 5049  
> Trying 10....  
> Connected to HOST.  
> Escape character is '^]'.

any ideas?

Regards

Hi @Pedro_Lopez_Gonzalez

How do you know filebeat is actually sending anything?

What Version are you on?

When you only supply snippets of the code, it is hard to help... because the issue could be elsewhere, so please share your entire filebeat.yml... and please use the `</>` button to format your code.
