Hi, i'am freshly installed logstash but when i'm try to test connect with  
`telnet <logstash ip> 5044`  
it says connection refused.

Then when i check my network in logstash machine with  
`netstat -plntu | grep 5044`  
it didn't show anything, and it means that logstash not listening in port 5044.

My firewall also off during this test.

Can you explain what happened here?  
btw i used version 7.16.0 in ubuntu 18.04 machine.

Start Logstash in debug mode, check is there a part in logstash-plain.log:  
_[[main]-pipeline-manager] beats - Beats inputs: Starting input listener {:address=\>"0.0.0.0:5044"}_  
_[[main]-pipeline-manager] javapipeline - Pipeline started {"pipeline.id"=\>"main"}_  
_[Agent thread] agent - Pipelines running {:count=\>1, :running\_pipelines=\>[:main], :non\_running\_pipelines=\>[]}_  
_[[main]\<beats] Server - **Starting server on port: 5045** _
