I installed it from rpm file in Centos. I found the folder logstash 5.3.2 and I create the file logstash.conf input { stdin { } } output { elasticsearch { hosts =\> ["localhost:9200"] } stdout { codec =\> rubydebug } } the input **works** even I can read data from a cvs file and the output **stdout { codec =\> rubydebug }** works as well **but** output **elasticsearch { hosts =\> ["localhost:9200"] }** doesn't work ?? doesn't send data to elasticsearch my elasticsearch is installed in a docker container and kibana in an other container, they are well conected to each other using a docker network, in ports 9200 , 5601 I can't reach them from Logstash, wich is installed in the host machine Centos how can I manage this mess ?? **please help !!!** ---

But if you're running ES in a container, is it really accessible via localhost:9200? With the default network mode of containers I'd assume you'd have to use its IP address. ---

I didn't use any IP address, I used directly localhost:9200 and I got this result ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/c/4/c465f6e0474aef7489d25c2237de0e85380d9de6.png) and for Kibana I've create a docker network and I did connect both containers ES and Kibana together but if you see that I've to use the IP address, can you please tell me how can I use it ? ---

> but if you see that I've to use the IP address, can you please tell me how can I use it ? Use the ES container's IP address instead of the localhost address. You can use the `docker inspect` command to locate the container's IP address. ---

You mean I've to replace localhost by the IP address ?? in the output like this `output { elasticsearch { host => ["IP@:9200"] } stdout { codec => rubydebug } }` **but** I tried the command docker inspect I found three deffernts IP@ i've tried the three of them but it doesn't work ??? I tried to reach ES fist from firefox IP@:9200 but it doesn,'t work ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/1/d/1da557c59deea24fbe2e9b880a052efc49f646df.png) ---

In this case the container's IP address is 172.17.0.2. Does `curl 172.17.0.2:9200` work? ---

the @IP doesn't work but finally I got the connexion between Logstash, ES and Kibana it was cause of X-pack, securety assue I followed this link and it works 🙂 [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/logstash.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/logstash.html) ---
