I've looked everywhere to find an answer to the below error but can only find a firewall issue (so tried outside the firewall) and the time stamp being different between the twitter server and my machine (machine timing set correctly). Can anyone advise what's causing the below authorisation error (I've also checked the twitter app and settings are correct and working).

I'm using the below twitter config:-

input {  
twitter {  
consumer\_key =\> "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"  
consumer\_secret =\> "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"  
oauth\_token =\> "xxxxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"  
oauth\_token\_secret =\> "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"  
keywords =\> ["xxxxxxxxxxx"]  
full\_tweet =\> true  
}  
}

output {  
stdout { codec =\> dots }  
elasticsearch {  
protocol =\> "http"  
host =\> "localhost"  
index =\> "twitter"  
document\_type =\> "tweet"  
template =\> "twitter\_template.json"  
template\_name =\> "twitter"  
}  
}

Thanks

Would indicate permissions problems with the auth details you are using.

I tried the same from outside the firewall and instead of authorisation issue I get a connection refused. So I believe warkolm you were correct but that's just left me with a different problem.

This is even after trying a new set of twitter authorization codes.

Any new thoughts?

Thanks
