I am unable to access Logstash(windows service) through [http://localhost:5044](http://localhost:5044) (within the logstash server) and also unable to access [http://192.168.27.189:5044](http://192.168.27.189:5044) (outside of the logstash server)

1. I can see Logstash windows service is up and running
2. 'Telnet localhost 5044' is connection failed(within the logstash server)
3. 'Telnet 192.168.27.189 5044' is connection failed(outside of the logstash server)
4. I dont see any error logged in the log file
5. Here is the logstash.conf

input {  
beats {  
port =\> "5044"  
type =\> "log"  
}  
}  
output {  
elasticsearch {  
hosts =\> "192.168.27.189:9200"  
manage\_template =\> false  
index =\> "%{[@metadata][beat]}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"  
document\_type =\> "%{[@metadata][type]}"  
}  
}

1. Logstash.yml - all are commented out
2. pipeline.yml - every thing commented out.
3. I did create new inbound fire wall rule to allow the connection for all the local ports.

The beats input doesn't provide HTTP service so [http://localhost:5044](http://localhost:5044) will never do anything useful.

Have you checked your Logstash log for clues? Maybe it's not start up properly.

I figured out the problem when I was installing logstash-input-beats it didnt install properly. When I installed, it worked. Sorry for this is unnecessary request.
