Logstash not listening on port 5044

[fastxl (Eric)]

I have setup a ELK node that I want to send some logs to via WinLogBeats. Using Ubuntu 18 server. I can ping the node by the ip address and the FQDN, but when I do a Test-NetConnection via powershell it fails. When I do a netstat -an | grep 5044 I get nothing. My input file is

input {
   beats {
        port => 5044
}
   udp { 
        type => pfLogs
        port => 5140
 }
}

No firewall running. Not sure what to try.

Try running netstat -plnt to show all listening services on the logstash server.

It could be that the service is not bound to a public ip.
It could be that it is only listening on ipv6

Post the output here.

Appears that it is listening on TCP6 but not TCP?

After disabling IPV6 it seems to be listening on tcp 5044 now
