Here all my configs :

filebeat.yml

```auto
input {
    beats{
      host => "192.168.1.107"
      port => 2021
    }
}
filter {
    grok {
        match => { "message" => "%{COMBINEDAPACHELOG}"}
    }
}
output {
    opensearch {
        hosts => ["https://node-0.example.com:9200"]
        index => "ad-logs"
        user => "admin"
        password => "admin"
        ssl => true
        ssl_certificate_verification => false
    }
}

```

OpenSearch/OpenDistro are AWS run products and differ from the original Elasticsearch and Kibana products that Elastic builds and maintains. You may need to contact them directly for further assistance.

You need to share the entire log error you got, but this means that some service could not bind to the specified port.

it is not possible to know what service because you didn't share the entire log error.

Also, if your Logstash is running on a container, the ip address `192.168.1.107` needs to be the IP of the container, if this IP is not available inside the container, them you will get an error.
