Hi

We are trying to configure Filebeat-\> redis-\> logstash-\> elasticsearch.  
But getting the following error.

```auto
Redis connection problem {:exception=>#<Redis::CannotConnectError: Error connecting to Redis on localhost:6379 (Errno::ECONNREFUSED)>, :level=>:warn} 

```

My configurations 🙂  
Filebeat:

```auto
filebeat:
  prospectors:
    -
      paths:
        - "/usr/local/etc/trafficserver/logs/squid.log"
      input_type: log
      document_type: trafficserver
    -
      paths:
        - "/var/log/apache2/reverseproxy_ats-access.log"
      input_type: log
      document_type: apache
output:
  redis:
    host: "localhost"
    port: 6379
    key: logstash
    data_typ: "list"

```

Logstash:

```auto
input {
    redis {
     host => "localhost"
     port => 6379
     type => "redis-input"
     data_type => "list"
     key => "logstash"
   }
}

```

Kindly help us in resolving this issue.

Check out the logstash error message:

```auto
CannotConnectError: Error connecting to Redis on localhost:6379

```

Is redis running? Is redis listening on port 6379? Is logstash and redis running on same host? Will redis accept connections from localhost? Try `telnet localhost 6379`.

Filebeat redis output config it must say `datatype`, not `data_typ` + use `index: logstash` instead of `key: logstash`.

Which filebeat version have you installed. It's not recommended to use filebeat 1.x releases with redis output.
