I am trying to use tcp as well as beats in my logstash.conf by enabling the same port,is it make any problem for filebeat to ship the logs if i didnt use port as 5044.
- is there any concept in logstash like default port or its user defind
Here my .conf file
input {
tcp {
port =\> 5001
}
beats {
'port' =\> '5001'
}

Logstash plugins that listen to a network port don't care which port they listen on and most if not all don't have a default port. Just pick any unused port.
