Dear all,

I would like to receive log from remote server through beats. However I find the port 5044 in ELK server is not listening. The ELK server is window platform. Any idea? Thanks.

# ELK server - logstash\config.json

input {  
beats {  
port =\> 5044  
type =\> "log"  
}  
}

How did you determine that the port isn't listening? What's the firewall situation? What's in the Logstash logs?

Dear all,

I use netstat -an to determine the port isn't listening. I am using winlogbeat.  
There is a good news. I find the problem and solved. The port 5044 is listening and can receive log from remote server.

Thanks all
