Hi guys, I'm trying monitoring syslogs in my ELK server, but when try run _filebeat setup_ happens the error bellow: ``` Loaded index template Loading dashboards (Kibana must be running and reachable) Exiting: Error importing Kibana dashboards: fail to create the Kibana loader: Error creating Kibana client: Error creating Kibana client: fail to get the Kibana version: HTTP GET request to /api/status fails: fail to execute the HTTP GET request: Get http://localhost:5601/api/status: dial tcp [::1]:5601: getsockopt: connection refused. Response: ``` Follow my filebeat.yml: ``` filebeat.inputs: - type: log enabled: true paths: - /var/log/*.log output.elasticsearch: hosts: "scutum:9200" setup.kibana: hosts: "scutum:5601" ``` ---
