Interestingly my logstash is running when I tried ps -ef | grep logstash and when my filebeat tries to send the logs it is getting connection refused error.

When I even do telent , i get below error message  
[root@GaneshTestTaskDev2TaskDev1 logstash]# telnet localhost 5044  
Trying 127.0.0.1...  
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused

I am not able to see any logstash logs its empty folder any help here ?
