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
