Hello guys,

I'm currently trying to use my ELK install on WIN2016 and all access seems to be ok with the good tutorial from : [http://robwillis.info/2019/05/installing-elk-7-elasticsearch-logstash-and-kibana-windows-server-2016](http://robwillis.info/2019/05/installing-elk-7-elasticsearch-logstash-and-kibana-windows-server-2016)

Elastic, Kibana is running and logstach too

But my issue is when i want to set up metricbeat installation on a Linux server... (i use the apt-get install metricbeat command)

For my example of POC my windows server has the IP 10.0.4.35  
from my server in localhost, [http://127.0.0.1:9200](http://127.0.0.1:9200) is ok and running with infos of cluster\_name etc..

when i'm going to try # . **/metricbeat setup** on the linux server i receive the error below :

Exiting: Couldn't connect to any of the configured Elasticsearch hosts. Errors: [Error connection to Elasticsearch [https://10.0.4.35:9200](https://10.0.4.35:9200): Get [https://10.0.4.35:9200](https://10.0.4.35:9200): net/http: request canceled while waiting for connection (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers)]

i understand that i have to set some informations in the **metricbeat.yml** file but all options are set and the error still present...

**here is the sample :**  
#setup.kibana:  
hosts: ["10.0.4.35:5601"]

output.elasticsearch:  
#Array of hosts to connect to.  
hosts: ["[http://10.0.4.35:9200](http://10.0.4.35:9200)"]

#output.logstash:  
#The Logstash hosts  
#hosts: ["10.0.4.35:5044"]

If someone can help me it will be cool because i don't understand why and i'm blocked on the basic ... ☹ ☹

Resolve :  
Modify elastisearch.yml and add the value :  
http.host: 0.0.0.0
