Logstash doesn't do anything

I am trying to configure Logstash for my network. I try to forward logs from a windows server 2012 via winlogbeat to my centos7 servers logstash instance and from there into my elasticsearch. This somehow doesn't work. I can start logstash but it's not doing anything
This is my logstash configuration file

input {
      beats {
        port => 5044
      }
    }

output {
  elasticsearch {
    hosts => ["http://192.168.0.86:9200"]
    index => "%{[@metadata][beat]}-%{[@metadata][version]}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
    #user => "elastic"
    #password => "changeme"
  }
}

and this is my winlogbeat.yml

winlogbeat.event_logs:
  - name: System

output.logstash:
  hosts:
    - 192.18.0.86:5044

logging.to_files: true
logging.files:
  path: C:/ProgramData/winlogbeat/Logs
logging.level: info

I can make a connection to my centos server from my windos server and the port is open as well. So it's no connection problem.
I am totally new to elk and I don't really know where to start troubleshooting
