Filebeat - transport.go:125: SSL client failed to connect with: read tcp connection reset by peer

Elastic Stack Beats

hi, i configured filebeat as instructed here https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-elasticsearch-logstash-and-kibana-elk-stack-on-centos-7 (execpt that i did this on Red had server) however i have issues shipping logs and i get the following error on filebeat restart

transport.go:125: SSL client failed to connect with: read tcp connection reset by peer

Can you someone suggest how to trouble shoot this?

  1. nc -vz 'servername' 5044 works is successful
  2. telnet to 5044 works fine
  3. firewall is off on both machines.
  4. selinux is disabled.
  5. copied the certificate on the client machine

The configuration is same as described in the article

Thanks,
Charan

Can you check these points in the FAQ? https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/1.1/ssl-client-fails.html

Thanks ruflin,

As i have already mentioned, telenet and ping works fine. i tried using "insecure: true", but that doesnt help to.

I am using a self signed certificate for testing, does this make any difference?

Check out this document I wrote. Maybe something there will help you. -- Using TLS between Beats and Logstash
