Hi There, I have installed Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana (Elastic Stack) on Ubuntu 18.04 as suggested in the below article and everything configured correctly.. > **[How To Install Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana (Elastic Stack) on Ubuntu...](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-elasticsearch-logstash-and-kibana-elastic-stack-on-ubuntu-18-04)** > > In this tutorial, we will go over the installation of the Elastic Stack on an Ubuntu 18.04 server. You will learn how to install all the components of the Elastic Stack (including Filebeat, a Beat used for forwarding and centralizing logs and files)... But I have installed metric beat on the remote windows server and configured the metricbeat .yaml files, started the service but while connecting to Logstah server from a remote windows machine within same network to sends system metric logs and but its not sending and giving error as an attached snapshot. As listen Logstash & Elastic Search only listening localhost might be the caused this issue but tried to change it local to IP address but to able to change it. Can someone please guide me to get this done. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/d/5/d549f38f07fd7d1a1d7e6247c439e392e7c048b0.png) Basically I want to achieve this for each machine in my network.. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/4/f/4f671d55a3021801bc6a3b7ef36aceaa2d2443d7.png) Below is the metric.Yaml config file...

You don't need Logstash. Just send to elasticsearch. ---

Hi Sid, I have figure it out this issue and able to resolve it by changing configuration in elastic config file, Please comment this setting with # then try to connect from remote machine it would be working fine. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/e/6/e6f21c771ff87bfb875e19714c0b997412d40b5c.png) ---
