Hi, I am confused about Logstash Ports 5044, 9600 and 9700. Can somebody please explain to me about these ports what all process are mapped to it. I have two logstash servers which are set up behind AWS Load Balancer. Which port do i need to map in AWS ELB to do load balancing between two logstash servers? Thanks in Advance and i look forward to hearing from you. Best Regards, Kaushal ---

Hi, 5044 is a default beats port. [The input plugin for beats](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-beats.html) 9600 - 9700 is [for web api calls](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/6.5/node-info-api.html) Hope this helps, Paul. ---
