Hi all, I 've the filebeat 1.2.3 version and topbeat/packetbeat. I see on the syslog the folowing error: Jul 23 04:45:14 hostname /usr/bin/filebeat[858]: transport.go:125: SSL client failed to connect with: read tcp 10.103.0.4:46695-\>10.100.0.4:5044: i/o timeout Jul 23 04:46:45 hostname /usr/bin/filebeat[858]: transport.go:125: SSL client failed to connect with: read tcp 10.103.0.4:46953-\>10.100.0.4:5044: i/o timeout Jul 23 04:48:15 hostname /usr/bin/filebeat[858]: transport.go:125: SSL client failed to connect with: read tcp 10.103.0.4:47220-\>10.100.0.4:5044: i/o timeout I've configured output to filebeat with logstash, the index on elasticsearch was updated but i've this errors, i think that the logstash rejected connections ---

It seems that you connect through SSL. Did you follow [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/configuring-tls-logstash.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/configuring-tls-logstash.html) ? ---
