Hi Team,

When i am trying to enable logstash configuration in filebeat.conf file, filebeat is not restarting. please find the below configurations.  
indent preformatted text by 4 spaces  
###################### Filebeat Configuration Example #########################

# This file is an example configuration file highlighting only the most common

# options. The filebeat.reference.yml file from the same directory contains all the

# supported options with more comments. You can use it as a reference.

# 

# You can find the full configuration reference here:

# [Filebeat Reference | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/index.html)

# For more available modules and options, please see the filebeat.reference.yml sample

# configuration file.

#=========================== Filebeat inputs =============================

filebeat.inputs:

# Each - is an input. Most options can be set at the input level, so

# you can use different inputs for various configurations.

# Below are the input specific configurations.

- type: log

#============================= Filebeat modules ===============================

filebeat.config.modules:

# Glob pattern for configuration loading

path: ${path.config}/modules.d/\*.yml

# Set to true to enable config reloading

reload.enabled: false

# Period on which files under path should be checked for changes

#reload.period: 10s

#==================== Elasticsearch template setting ==========================

setup.template.settings:  
index.number\_of\_shards: 3  
#index.codec: best\_compression  
#\_source.enabled: false

#================================ General =====================================

# The name of the shipper that publishes the network data. It can be used to group

# all the transactions sent by a single shipper in the web interface.

#name:

# The tags of the shipper are included in their own field with each

# transaction published.

#tags: ["service-X", "web-tier"]

# Optional fields that you can specify to add additional information to the

# output.

#fields:

# env: staging

#============================== Dashboards =====================================

# These settings control loading the sample dashboards to the Kibana index. Loading

# the dashboards is disabled by default and can be enabled either by setting the

# options here, or by using the `-setup` CLI flag or the `setup` command.

#setup.dashboards.enabled: false

# The URL from where to download the dashboards archive. By default this URL

# has a value which is computed based on the Beat name and version. For released

# versions, this URL points to the dashboard archive on the [artifacts.elastic.co](http://artifacts.elastic.co)

# website.

#setup.dashboards.url:

#============================== Kibana =====================================

# Starting with Beats version 6.0.0, the dashboards are loaded via the Kibana API.

# This requires a Kibana endpoint configuration.

setup.kibana:

# Kibana Host

# Scheme and port can be left out and will be set to the default (http and 5601)

# In case you specify and additional path, the scheme is required: [http://localhost:5601/path](http://localhost:5601/path)

# IPv6 addresses should always be defined as: https://[2001:db8::1]:5601

```
host: "192.168.50.204:5601"

```

#============================= Elastic Cloud ==================================

# These settings simplify using filebeat with the Elastic Cloud ([https://cloud.elastic.co/](https://cloud.elastic.co/)).

# The cloud.id setting overwrites the `output.elasticsearch.hosts` and

# `setup.kibana.host` options.

# You can find the `cloud.id` in the Elastic Cloud web UI.

#cloud.id:

# The cloud.auth setting overwrites the `output.elasticsearch.username` and

# `output.elasticsearch.password` settings. The format is `<user>:<pass>`.

#cloud.auth:

#================================ Outputs =====================================

# Configure what output to use when sending the data collected by the beat.

#-------------------------- Elasticsearch output ------------------------------  
output.elasticsearch:

# Array of hosts to connect to.

```
hosts: ["192.168.50.204:9200"]

```

# Optional protocol and basic auth credentials.

#protocol: "https"  
#username: "elastic"  
#password: "changeme"

#----------------------------- Logstash output --------------------------------  
#output.logstash:

# The Logstash hosts

```
#hosts: ["192.168.50.204:5044"]

```

# Optional SSL. By default is off.

# List of root certificates for HTTPS server verifications

#ssl.certificate\_authorities: ["/etc/pki/root/ca.pem"]

# Certificate for SSL client authentication

#ssl.certificate: "/etc/pki/client/cert.pem"

# Client Certificate Key

#ssl.key: "/etc/pki/client/cert.key"
