Hi Folks, I am newbie here, i am trying to populate logstash metric data into kibana through elasticsearch module but i am getting 404 error after running metricbeat -e command on logstash server where metricbeat is also installed, however kibana and elasticsearch are reachable from logstash server. any help would be really appreciated. ---

Hi tomalter This sound like a good question for our #elastic-stack:beats channel. I'd recommend to provide some more details, e.g. your configuration. because the solution to you problem might be hidden there. Best, Matthias ---

Hi matw i have define elastcsearch, kibana,and logstash details (IP:Port) in metricbeat.yml file and enable logstash module through metricbeat enable command as per the kibana documentation. please find error message i am getting and please let me know if there is any discrepency with configuration.

hi 9600 is the port for monitoring Logstash, since this seems to be a elasticsearch error message, try to change to 9200 which is the default port for elasticsearch? anyway pls share you metricbeat.yml file if this doesn't work. Thx & Best, Matthias ---

Hi matw i did changes in configuration as per your input but issue is still there. please find below metricbeat.yml configuration and also now metricbeat setup command to load kibana dashboard is also not working. please let me know if there is any discrepency in metricbeat configuration. ###################### Metricbeat Configuration Example ####################### # This file is an example configuration file highlighting only the most common # options.

> [@tomalter](#): > > hosts: [" _._ . _._ :9200"] Could you format you config as code like this > code so you've configured you elasticsearch to` *.* . *.* :9200`? or did you replace the ip with stars manually? you want to send metrics **of** logstash to elasticsearch, right? not **to** logstash, right? Then you need to deactivate the logstash output, and configure the logstash module of metricbeat > **[Logstash module | Metricbeat Reference \[8.11\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/metricbeat-module-logstash.html)** Hope this helps, Best, Matthias ---

Hi Matw i am using elastic ip in that section but i replace IP with stars just to hide my server details and yes i am trying to send metrics of logstash to elastic search so that data could be populated on kibana so please suggests me. ---

Please disable the logstash output, and use the metricbeat module in the way it is described here: > **[Logstash module | Metricbeat Reference \[7.9\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/metricbeat-module-logstash.html)** Thx & Best, Matthias ---
