Hi,
I am new to ELK and facing an initial hurdle.
Could someone please help me with the error: **_error=\>"Got response code '401' contacting Elasticsearch at URL '[http://localhost:9200/](http://localhost:9200/)'"}_**
My logstash config is as below:
input {
beats {
port =\> "5043"
}
}
filter {
grok {
match =\> { "message" =\> "%{COMBINEDAPACHELOG}"}
}
geoip {
source =\> "clientip"
}
}
output {
elasticsearch {
hosts =\> ["localhost:9200"]
user =\> logstash\_internal
password =\> changeme
}
}
