I attempting to push logs from PacketBeat (Windows) to Logstash to Elastic Cloud. However above error keep looping in /var/log/logstash/logstash-plain.log.

Thanks for assisting

Below is my config file in /etc/logstash/conf.d

> input {  
> beats {  
> port =\> 5044  
> host =\> "192.168.75.144"  
> }  
> }  
> output {  
> elasticsearch {  
> hosts =\> ["[https://sanitized:9243](https://sanitized:9243)"]  
> user =\> "elastic"  
> password =\> "sanitized"  
> index =\> "%{[@metadata][beat]}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"  
> document\_type =\> "%{[@metadata][type]}"  
> }  
> }

Below is my PacketBeat Logstash output

There seems to be a mismatch here. Try removing the host parameter from the beats input.

Managed to fix it by removing the host from configuration file. Thanks
