Hello,
I've read through a lot of documentation and topics here, but I still have problems sending a JSON document to logstash.
I have two Docker container. One is for my **nodejs** application, which is sending JSON documents over HTTP. The other Docker container is running a logstash instance. When I try to send the JSON document, Logstash is responding with a HTTP 403 Response code (Access Denied). I thought it could have something to do with CORS. So this is my Logstash pipeline:
```
input {
http {
port => 9601
response_headers => {
"Access-Control-Allow-Origin" => "*"
"Access-Control-Request-Method" => "POST"
"Content-Type" => "application/json"
"Access-Control-Allow-Headers" => "Origin, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Accept"
}
}
}
output {
stdout {
codec => rubydebug
}
}
```
But this does not help. The response is still the same:
```
The following error was encountered while trying to retrieve the URL: http://logstash:9601/
Access control configuration prevents your request from being allowed at this time. Please contact your service provider if you feel this is incorrect.
```
When my nodejs application is not running in Docker but on my host system, I can send JSON documents to Logstash without any problems.
Has someone ecountered this already? What am I missing?
Thank you in advance,
Daniel
