Seems like your server has network connectivity issues that your own machine doesn't have. That doesn't strike me as a Logstash problem.

How can we verify, this issue happen due to network connectivity?  
because when i open URL through browser on my local machine & Server both giving same response.

Use a lowlevel tool outside of Logstash, e.g. telnet or netcat.

Your browsers might be configured to use a proxy.

There is no proxy set on the server.Is there any way where we get detail information(logs) about error? what causing for "Connection timed out" error?

You could use e.g. Wireshark to capture the network traffic. Then you'll see exactly which host it's trying to connect to and you can compare it to your own successful attempts.
