I am now using netflow module in my logstash .  
And i using " bin/logstash --modules netflow --setup -M netflow.var.input.udp.port=2055 -M var.elasticsearch.hosts="192.168.88.120:9200" -M var.kibana.host="192.168.88.120:5601" "  
to start the netflow, but i met an error

[ERROR] 2017-10-13 19:49:59.450 [LogStash::Runner] kibanaclient - Error when executing Kibana client request {:error=\>#\<Manticore::SocketException: Connection refused (Connection refused)\>}

It seems that i can not connect to the kibana, but when i using telnet , the port is normal.  
And i had closed all the firewall,is there anyone who can solve it ?

See [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/5.6/logstash-modules.html#running-logstash-modules](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/5.6/logstash-modules.html#running-logstash-modules)

When using the command line, you must specify which module the setting belongs to. You did this for `netflow.var.input.udp.port` but not `var.elasticsearch.hosts` and `var.kibana.host`

Your command line should look like this.

```auto
bin/logstash --modules netflow --setup -M netflow.var.input.udp.port=2055 -M netflow.var.elasticsearch.hosts="192.168.88.120:9200" -M netflow.var.kibana.host="192.168.88.120:5601"

```
