Logstash is running on 9600 by default and I want to run another logstash on same system Is there opion to change default port for logstash I don't want to use beats for this. beacuse I want to run two logstash with different conf files and If have change configuration in conf file I want to get data from already present files. Logstash is taking those files but elastic isn't. Can anyone help me?? ---

You can with multiple Logstash Inputs... eg > **[Beats input plugin | Logstash Reference \[7.15\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-beats.html)** Also with multiple protocols ```auto input { tcp { id => "main_tcp" port => "5043" codec => json } udp { id => "main_udp" port => 12201 codec => "json" } } ``` Logstash will bind to what you specify in the \*.conf files ---

I found the solution by editing logstash.yml file at config dir ```auto http.host: "0.0.0.0" # # Bind port for the metrics REST endpoint, this option also accept a range # (9600-9700) and logstash will pick up the first available ports. # http.port: 9650 ``` but now already existing files are not indexing ---

That is for a different endpoint, the ports for ingesting data are controlled via the inputs modules, where 5044 is default. You are looking at the Logstash Configuration instead of the pipeline configuration ---

```auto input { file{ path => "/logs/archived/*.log" codec => multiline{ pattern => "^[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}" negate => true what => "previous" } } } filter{ grok { match => {"message" => "%{TIMESTAMP_ISO8601:time_stamp}\s%{WORD:log_level}\s%{JAVACLASS:class}\s(\[%{DATA:thread}\])\s+(?(.|\r|\n)*)"} } mutate{ gsub => ["time_stamp", " ", "T"] } mutate{ gsub => ["time_stamp", ",", "."] } mutate{ replace => {"time_stamp" => "%{time_stamp}Z"} } } output{ stdout{ codec => rubydebug } elasticsearch { hosts => ["http://0.0.0:9200"] index => "index-log" } } ``` I am taking files from this path and if I made changes in config file I want to index already present files again ---

If you are using logstash to ingest a file, why do you need to change the logstash port number (5044)? ---

You can use multiple pipelines and each pipeline listens on a different port up specify on the Logstash Input Module > **[Multiple Pipelines | Logstash Reference \[7.15\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/multiple-pipelines.html)** > **[Beats input plugin | Logstash Reference \[7.15\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-beats.html)** > **[Tcp input plugin | Logstash Reference \[7.15\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-tcp.html)** ---

This is a much better, and the recommended approach @mangeshs. ---
