I have configured Logstash to take input by listening to port 5043 from filebeat by creating a pipeline in /etc/logstash/conf.d for filebeat. Now when I start logstash and check the status, it shows active but when I check for services that are running on the system(netstat -plntu), it doesn't come up at all. I cannot find the port I assigned to logstash anywhere.

/etc/logstash# netstat -plntu
