Hi All,
Logstash is not working if I provide http.host as my system IP address in logstash.yml file.
Logstash is working well if I provide my system name in logstash.yml file.
What changes I need to do to make logstash work with my IP address.
Below is my yml file settings.
node.name: testnode1
http.host: "XXX.XXX.XX.XX"
Thanks in Advance....
