My Logstash 6+ is able to parse and show logs from various beats running on the same server, however it is not showing me logs from any remote systems. I have verified connectivity to port 5044. In the Logstash logs, i see the following INFO and warning messages.:
[2018-08-01T00:00:13,666][INFO][org.logstash.beats.BeatsHandler] [local: 10.75.10.59:5044, remote: 10.75.10.249:47012] Handling exception: org.logstash.beats.BeatsParser$InvalidFrameProtocolException: Invalid Frame Type, received: 69
[2018-08-01T00:00:14,808][WARN][io.netty.channel.DefaultChannelPipeline] An exceptionCaught() event was fired, and it reached at the tail of the pipeline. It usually means the last handler in the pipeline did not handle the exception.

Any ideas how this can be fixed? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
can you please report both your Beats and Logstash configurations?
