Hi,

Getting connection refused error when trying to use Twitter input on Logstash 1.5.1.  
I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

```
input {
    twitter {
        consumer_key => " "
        consumer_secret => " "
        oauth_token => " "
        oauth_token_secret => " "
        keywords => ["test"]
    }
}

output {
    stdout {}
}

```

Firewall?

Try running with `--debug` and see what is returned.

Hi,

I'm not working on this anymore, but my issue was with my company's firewall not allowing the Twitter connection.
