I only have ports 8080,8081,8082 available on this linux sytem.
I get this error(I've also tried other ports):
2017/09/29 02:22:26.347036 single.go:140: ERR Connecting error publishing events (retrying): dial tcp [::1]:8080: getsockopt: connection refused

Hi @brw314,
Do you see anything in Logstash logs? Also I noticed it says `[::1]:8080`, this could be an IPv6 issue, can you try to write `127.0.0.1:8080` instead?
