Hi, I'm trying out the ELK stack on an environment of 1 ELK server, two client servers and one laptop to access Kabina. I have followed [https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-elasticsearch-logstash-and-kibana-elk-stack-on-ubuntu-14-04](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-elasticsearch-logstash-and-kibana-elk-stack-on-ubuntu-14-04) throughout and got to the point where I am configuring my client servers. I came across a problem. I set up filebeat and configured it by following the guide, everything worked out well but when I try to restart the filebeat service to save the changes I get the following message: - Restarting Sends log files to Logstash or directly to Elasticsearch. filebeat 2016/03/17 14:25:12.419905 transport.go:125: ERR SSL client failed to connect with: dial tcp [XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:5044](http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:5044): getsockopt: connection refused. I tried to troubleshoot this myself and thought that something was wrong with either the SSL cert I made or the port. But I'm pretty sure my configs are correct. After some time I noticed that my logstash service was not running so i went ahead and started it, but and it started up but after 5 seconds it just goes back to not running. Can someone help me out? ---

Check your LS logs, if there is nothing run LS directly using the same command as the service to see what is happening. ---

My set-up is the following: 1 E.L.K server, 2 Client servers and 1 Laptop to access Kibana.
