Issue when deployingin remote server as a docker image: logstastash log -> " Sending Logstash logs to /usr/share/logstash/logs which is now configured via log4j2.properties" - afterwards no logs from logstash

[jobin]

ERROR pipeline/output.go:100 Failed to connect to backoff(async(tcp://localhost:5044)): dial tcp [::1]:5044: connect: cannot assign requested address
2019-07-31T13:43:31.419Z INFO pipeline/output.go:93 Attempting to reconnect to backoff(async(tcp://localhost:5044)) with 60 reconnect attempt(s)

this is the filebeat log error

logstash is showing log like this for a long time.

Sending Logstash logs to /usr/share/logstash/logs which is now configured via log4j2.properties

but no progress after showing this message,

filebeat.yml file is like this

filebeat.inputs:
- type: docker
  combine_partial: true
  containers:
    path: "/usr/share/dockerlogs/data"
    stream: "stdout"
    close_inactive: 5m
    ids:
      - "*"
  exclude_files: ['\.gz$']
  ignore_older: 10m


output.logstash:
  enabled: true
  hosts: ["localhost:5044"]

logstash.conf file is like the folllowing

input { 
	beats {
	    port => 5044
	    host => "0.0.0.0"
	    ssl => false
  	}
}


filter {
  #If log line contains tab character followed by 'at' then we will tag that entry as stacktrace
  if [message] =~ "\tat" {
    grok {
      match => ["message", "^(\tat)"]
      add_tag => ["stacktrace"]
    }
  }

}

output { 

  stdout {
    codec => rubydebug
  }

  # Sending properly parsed log events to elasticsearch
  elasticsearch {
    hosts => ["192.168.99.100:9200"]
    index => "%{[@metadata][beat]}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
    document_type => "%{[@metadata][type]}"
  }
}

In local everything is working fine

When logstash is running what does 'netstat -an | grep -w 5044' show?

[jobin]

@Badger

netstat -an | grep -w 5044

tcp6 0 0 :::5044 :::* LISTEN

I resolved the issue. It was in regards docker networking.

In logstash.conf i changed hosts => ["localhost:9200] to hosts => ["test-elasticsearch"]
in which test-elasticsearch is my container name.

elasticsearch {
    hosts => ["test-elasticsearch"]
    index => "%{[@metadata][beat]}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
    document_type => "%{[@metadata][type]}"
  }

Similarly i updated in filebeat.yml also - from hosts: ["localhost:5044"] to hosts: ["test-logstash"]

`output.logstash:
    enabled: true
    hosts: ["test-logstash"]`

Since the containers are in same network the changed host name worked for me.

Thanks for the response.
