###################### 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:
# 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

  # Change to true to enable this input configuration.
  enabled: true

  # Paths that should be crawled and fetched. Glob based paths.
  paths:
    - /var/log/messages
    - /var/log/auth.log
    - /var/log/syslog
    - /var/log/faillog
    - /var/log/lastlog
    - /var/log/sa
    - /var/log/*.log
    - /var/log/*log
    - /var/adm/commandlog
    - /tmp/SIMEX1/SIMEX_1App04/ndc3vpaieaiapp79_SIMEX_1App04_SystemOut.log
# fields:
# app_id: LINUX_OS_10.94.241.145

  ### Multiline options

  # Multiline can be used for log messages spanning multiple lines. This is common
  # for Java Stack Traces or C-Line Continuation

  # The regexp Pattern that has to be matched. The example pattern matches all lines starting with [
  # multiline.pattern: '^\[(\d+\/\d+\/\d+ \d+:\d+:\d+:\d+ \w+)\]|^\[\d{2}\-\d{2}\-\d{2}-\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}] \[\w+( )*\]|^(\w{3} \w{3} \d+ \d+:\d+:\d+ \w+ \d{4})|^(\w{3} \w{3} \d+ \d+:\d+:\d+ \w+ \d{4})'
# multiline.pattern: '^\[\d+\/\d+|\d+\/\d+\/\d+\s+\d+\:\d+\:\d+'

  # Defines if the pattern set under pattern should be negated or not. Default is false.
 #multiline.negate: true

  # Match can be set to "after" or "before". It is used to define if lines should be append to a pattern
  # that was (not) matched before or after or as long as a pattern is not matched based on negate.
  # Note: After is the equivalent to previous and before is the equivalent to to next in Logstash
 # multiline.match: after

#============================= 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: true

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

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

# These settings simplify using filebeat with the Elastic Cloud (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: ["localhost:9200"]

  # Optional protocol and basic auth credentials.
  #protocol: "https"
  #username: "elastic"
  #password: "changeme"

#----------------------------- Logstash output --------------------------------
output.logstash:
  # The Logstash hosts
  hosts: ["10.94.241.145:5043"]
  #index: "WAS_Filebeat-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
  # user: "logstash_system"
  #password: "logstash"
  # 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"

#================================ Logging =====================================

# Sets log level. The default log level is info.
# Available log levels are: error, warning, info, debug
#logging.level: debug

# At debug level, you can selectively enable logging only for some components.
# To enable all selectors use ["*"]. Examples of other selectors are "beat",
# "publish", "service".
#logging.selectors: ["*"]

#============================== Xpack Monitoring ===============================
# filebeat can export internal metrics to a central Elasticsearch monitoring
# cluster. This requires xpack monitoring to be enabled in Elasticsearch. The
# reporting is disabled by default.

# Set to true to enable the monitoring reporter.
#xpack.monitoring.enabled: false

# Uncomment to send the metrics to Elasticsearch. Most settings from the
# Elasticsearch output are accepted here as well. Any setting that is not set is
# automatically inherited from the Elasticsearch output configuration, so if you
# have the Elasticsearch output configured, you can simply uncomment the
# following line.
#xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch:

Is it Logstash on the same IP? There no listener on port 5043, only 9200 - Elasticsearch.  
Either is wrong IP or Logstash has not been started.

also , will it help, The URL of the SOCKS5 proxy to use when connecting to the Logstash servers. The value must be a URL with a scheme of socks5://. The protocol used to communicate to Logstash is not based on HTTP so a web-proxy cannot be used.

If the SOCKS5 proxy server requires client authentication, then a username and password can be embedded in the URL as shown in the example.

@Sagar_Naik Please take to 10 seconds and format your code just select it and press the `</>` button! 🙂 I did it for you in your first post, many of us won't even try to answer questions that are so hard to read.

Now filebeat needs to point to the correct port.

```auto
output.logstash:
  # The Logstash hosts
  hosts: ["10.94.241.145:5044"] <!------ HERE put the correct port
  #index: "WAS_Filebeat-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
  # user: "logstash_system"
  #password: "logstash"
  # Optional SSL. By default is off.
  # List of root certificates for HTTPS server verifications
  #ssl.certificate_authorities: ["/etc/pki/root/ca.pem"]

```

to match

```auto
input {
  beats {
    port => "5044"
  }
}

```

Notice how lovely it works when you format your code 🙂

is 9600 port correct as logstash is working on it

9600 is for LS [monitoring](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/monitoring-logstash.html).

Hi @Sagar_Naik

9600 is logstash management port not the beats port which is 5044

What I showed you above is correct...

You asked a question and we tell you the answer and the do not try/ follow...

Not much more we can do.

Try what a suggested...

Those settings are also in the docs.

And it showing in detail in the official documentation

Hi,

I changed it back to 5044 .  
Its telnet not working on remote host 10.94.241.146 on port 5044 ,Is this telnet is the actual cause , do we need to get firewall open as self telnet is also not working and hence I did not installed filebeat on 146 node.

elkadmin@ndc3vmappelk02 ~]$ telnet 10.94.241.146 5044  
Trying 10.94.241.146...  
telnet: connect to address 10.94.241.146: Connection refused  
[elkadmin@ndc3vmappelk02 ~]$ telnet localhost 5044  
Trying ::1...  
telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused  
Trying 127.0.0.1...  
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused

If you start logstash...Can you telnet to 5044 on the same server that you are running logstash?

The logstash logs should show successfully opening the port... Did you look?

If you can connect to 5044 on the same server running logstash... But can not connect from another server that would indicate a connectivity/ firewall issue.

Here is my simple logstash config that listens to beats it is the sample in the `config` directory

```auto
$ cat config/logstash-sample.conf 
# Sample Logstash configuration for creating a simple
# Beats -> Logstash -> Elasticsearch pipeline.

input {
  beats {
    port => 5044
  }
}

output {
  elasticsearch {
    hosts => ["http://localhost:9200"]
    index => "%{[@metadata][beat]}-%{[@metadata][version]}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
    #user => "elastic"
    #password => "changeme"
  }
}

```

It will start and you should see log lines like

```auto
[2023-01-14T22:06:33,067][INFO][logstash.javapipeline][main] Pipeline Java execution initialization time {"seconds"=>0.4}
[2023-01-14T22:06:33,079][INFO][logstash.inputs.beats][main] Starting input listener {:address=>"0.0.0.0:5044"}
[2023-01-14T22:06:33,087][INFO][logstash.javapipeline][main] Pipeline started {"pipeline.id"=>"main"}
[2023-01-14T22:06:33,142][INFO][logstash.agent] Pipelines running {:count=>1, :running_pipelines=>[:main], :non_running_pipelines=>[]}
[2023-01-14T22:06:33,156][INFO][org.logstash.beats.Server][main][445fc32757e644ee24a7914982f2ee4ac7f879da469d77c75ea576f4809bdc43] Starting server on port: 5044

```

Then telnet connects from the same server with localhost, 127.0.0.1 or the server IP

```auto
$ telnet 192.168.86.40 5044
Trying 192.168.86.40...
Connected to 192.168.86.40.
Escape character is '^]'.

```

BTW to format code or log lines select it and the press
