Hi all, Ive been in the filebeat.yml file and tried to do the initial config myself. I'm pretty new to the ELK stack and it processes but i made sure all ports were open but it still doesn't seem to connect. Below is part of my config in the filebeat. I have the same thing set up for kibana, logstash, and elastic. Help needed ''''' #----------------------------- Logstash output -------------------------------- #output.logstash: # The Logstash hosts '' hosts: ["10.0.0.71:5044"] username: "----------" password: "\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*" '' # Optional SSL. By default is off. # List of root certificates for HTTPS server verifications #ssl.certificate\_authorities: ["/etc/pki/root/ca.pem"] # Certificate for SSL client authentication #ssl.certificate: "/etc/pki/client/cert.pem" # Client Certificate Key #ssl.key: "/etc/pki/client/cert.key" '''''''''' ---
